New Snowmobile Trail Is A Done Deal

An agreement to re-route Snowmobile Trail UP2 has been reached. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced details at the end of last week. The reroute will be located south of U.S. Highway 2 and connect Ramsay with Wakefield. The trail will also use a portion of Old U.S. Highway 2. The city of Wakefield and Bessemer Township both retain the right to cancel their permits for the trail reroute with 14-days-notice, and trail permissions will stay in place as long as the trail remains safe and conflicts between motorists and snowmobiles along Old U.S. 2 and Cemetery Road do not occur.
