DNR Has A Message For Anyone Heading To The Upper Peninsula To Snowmobile

A 14-mile section of a Chippewa County snowmobile trail has been closed temporarily by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources because of hazards posed by weather conditions.

The conditions, however, are not being cause by snow, but rather water.

Snowmobile Trail UP 49 from Sault Ste. Marie south toward Kinross in Chippewa County is temporarily closed because of high water, with no reroutes available.

The DNR warns, disregarding closed trail signs or gates could jeopardize rider safety.
