Latest Trail Conditions

Trails range from fair-good!

Thin stretch between Boon and Mesick but lots of real good stretches on the trail.

Railroad grade to Thompsonville is fair. Gets better the further north you get. Expecting busy traffic since it’s “free riding” weekend and MLK. We’ll have a bonfire going in the Coyote Corral on Saturday with drinks for sale outside!

Compared to last year, trails are a 10- haha! This trail report is from Lewis Finch who was out riding today! – THINK SNOW!

Hi There!

We’re Pete and Julie Finch, owners of Coyote Crossing Resort.
Our family loves to hit the trails and explore all that northern Michigan has to offer!
We started Pete’s Trail Report to inform other outdoor enthusiasts of the snowmobile trail conditions in the Cadillac area, but we’ll also be sharing our insider perspective of living life at the 44th parallel in hopes to inspire others to take time to stop and smell the pine trees. We hope you enjoy!

Several people were riding this past weekend, but decent conditions were very localized from Coyote up to Mesick. Check out Coyote webcam for current pictures. Cold temps and some snow are in the forecast… THINK SNOW!
