Our club is under contract with the Michigan DNR to sign, brush and grooming 93 miles of snowmobile trail in the Alpena area. We presently have 4 staging areas for snowmobilers to park and ride from and they are located as follows:
1. M-32 Alpena behind Stanson Carpet which is located across the highway from the Walmart store. This is the beginning of trail #4 which travels west across the state to Charlievoix.2. North of Alpena on Henry Street which is located next to the local Chevy dealer. This is the beginning of trail #992 which leads northwest out of Alpena and takes you to Mackinaw City and other trail along the way. 3. At the corners of M-32 and Herron Road at our New GROOMER BUILDING! Pleas park to the right of the building and not block the groomer doors. 4.Approximately 3 miles south of M32 on Indian Reserve Road which is by the Alpena airport. This staging area is located on trail 461 which leads to trail 4 and the Devil's Lake System.Trail System Information:
TRAIL #4 is a abandon railroad grade that leads west out of Alpena to Hillman and trails beyond. It passes by a private elk farm right along the trail.
TRAIL # 992 is another abandon railroad grade that leas northwest out of Alpena and ends in Mackinaw City with additional trail systems off it. This trail passes a very unique sink hole with bridge that must be seem!
TRAIL 464 is a new connector between trail 4 and 992. This trail is located 6 miles west of Alpena and travels along county roads and state forest lands.
DEVIL'S LAKE this is a series of trails within the state forest and one of the prettiest for winter travel. Take your time on this narrow winding trail and enjoy the views.
