State DNR reaches deal on trail grooming in southeastern UP

LANSING, MI (AP)— More than 100 miles of state-managed trails in the southeastern Upper Peninsula will be groomed as part of an agreement between the Department of Natural Resources and the Straits Area Snowmobile Club.

The DNR has said grooming was to begin as soon as there's enough snow.

The agency earlier had alerted snowmobilers to avoid the area, as trails would not be groomed indefinitely while an agreement was being discussed.

The affected trails are in Mackinac and Chippewa counties, connecting the communities of St. Ignace, Trout Lake and Epoufette.
