You will have access to the main trail (old RR bed) that runs between Indian River & Gaylord. Going a little NW, you will access the IR trail system. Check Michigan Interactive™ ~ Michigan Outdoors & Outdoor Recreation for trail maps & latest conditions. If snow is good I may be at my place in IR, if you're up that way!!

No snow anywhere. Trails have been decribed as mud.

You may want to check the farmers almanac to see what the weather may be like for the area. As of right now there is no more snow. I just pull my sled back in the garage in hope that it will snow soon. It usually happens when I do that. The r&r trail that IRS is talking about is really hit, and miss no matter what kind of snowfall we get.

If it does snow there, there won't be much of a base. The ground has been to warm. I hope you make it.
