Friday 12-17-10 Snow Report

Baldwin Trail Report: DATE: 12-17-10 7:00a.m. BASE: 1"-6" PAST 24 Hrs: 1/2in. L.E.S. CONDITION: Good To Great


Hi folks get up here for a good weekend ride.

I cleared a few limbs out of the way from the wet heavy snow we received last Sunday. Some of the tight trails have some snirt, and some of the commerce in the village of Baldwin (bare roads) can be tough to get to other than that we are expecting around 1-3inches this weekend to give the roads a glaze and expect a fun weekend.

We should be a great base camp for some fun December Riding. We have specials running this week and we have a few open rooms for this upcoming weekend.

See you on the Trail

Baldwin MI Snowmboile Capital of Michigan

12-13 Snow Report

Well folks we didn't get the dumping that just north of us received but the snow we did get was good to great base making material and should make for a good ride this week into this weekend. Lake effect snow will be really firing up just west of us in Mason County. I took a ride up to Cadillac and over to Welleston they have considerable more snow but we have plenty to make the farthest south base with great trails and reasonable accommodations.

Baldwin Trail Report:

DATE: 2-25-10 9a.m.

BASE: tr"----4in" Depending

PAST 24 Hrs: 1" and Cold

CONDITION: Fair-----Expecting 2-4" more-----Some Snirt and Open spots---Solid Spring Riding


Come get potentially your last ride in!!!!
Hey guys I just got back from a short ride and thought things were nice considering the time of year. Get up here and get your last ride in, things were snirty in a few spots and getting around certain towns may be a pain, but if we get 2inches of the 2-4 we will be in very good shape. That is the forecast and you know how tough that is this time of year. Ludington got 9inches and the trails that bleed over towards Mason County are evident of this. To bad Ludington really doesn’t have a trail system. Either way things look fine for this weekend.
We have a few open rooms this weekend---give us a call!!!

Took a ride on 30 east from my place down from Reed City towards Rockford trails were great to our south,,,at least another 2" of snow then we got yesterday. All of the water had iced up which made a few intersections rough, the brown snow is gone from the weekend but there are a few skinny spots still from this weekends melt.

We are expecting an artic clipper system to be coming through with another 2"-4", and light lake effect from there. We don't have 2 feet on the ground but we have rideable snow, I have a couple rooms of people that have enjoyed the fresh snow from yesterday.

Things got a bit warm for liking yesterday but this morning it's a high of 14 so things are freezing up. On my ride yesterday I found no ice as things had thawed a bit but the trail stayed smooth.

Park from here ride to the trails, why would you drive farther north to see more sleds and less beauty. There is nothing like riding in the National Forest in the winter. If you are into sightseeing ------*--the corridor of back-roads and two tracks around the two national wild and scenic rivers the Pere Marquette and Pine are unbelievable. Come up and I will give you a detailed map of trails and great back roads to come and enjoy our great county, and surrounding north. This is a great, affordable place to start your journey north riding. Why would you trailer farther north. By the time you got there you could already have 50-100 miles on your sled........

BASE: 2"-6"

PAST 24 Hrs: 1"-2"

CONDITION: Nice Riding Conditions------It's Almost March Get Out and Go Riding!


As of right know the trails are in very good condition. We have been getting a inch or so every night to help whiten the trails up and give the groomers something to groom with. The inch or so is just what the doctor ordered for our trails. Finally I have to dust off the plow truck (Big Brown) and actually plow.

I went for a ride taking (3) south to Newaygo the trail was great all for the couple exceptions of trail next to the road where you have to go around a guardrail and river. We are still running a mid week special buy two nights get the last night free. Sunday-Thursday. This is the best riding we have had since December and everyone who was here last weekend said the trails were fine, so it's that much better.

1-11-10 Snow Report

Report By: Mike Baldwin Creek Lodge, mike@baldwincreeklodge.com
Baldwin Trail Report: DATE: 1-11-10 Monday BASE: 2-6" PAST 24 Hrs: 1-2" CONDITION: Fair to Good


We had a couple inches last night to glaze the roads and put a little extra on the trails. As far as the trails they are nice, There are some parts of the trails that have another foot of snow than others depending how they line up with the cold lake Effect Winds. We are supposed to be getting some sun and 30 degree weather this week but we have enough base to not effect it much. I will keep you posted and how that progresses. The roads around the village can be tight when this happens but if you stay on the trail things are perfect. If you can do it get up here in the next three days the trails will be perfect. We are still running a mid week special buy two nights get the last night free. Sunday-Thursday.

I have a couple rooms open this weekend. Give us a call ----Park from here ride to the trails, why would you drive farther north to see more sleds and less beauty.
