I have spent 30 minutes trying to find a decent online map showing the trails to get to Delta and have come up empty. Can anyone tell me what the trails are coming from the east, Mercer, Manitowish Waters area?

Also a general idea on length of travel time.

The wife saw the Delta Diner on TV and wants to eat there. Might as well spend the time on a sled rather than a vehicle.

Thanks,
Tim

Did you try calling them?.....maybe they aren't sled friendly??? Read some revues...all good but read words like "sustainability" and "living wage".... trigger words....LOL

Not sure I really care if they are sled friendly. I walk in they should serve me food, seems simple to me. I may even spend enough they get their living wage......:rolleyes3:

yea, sounds like you WILL pay a liv. wage (whatever that is) ....but if'n yur on a sled it means the diff between having a spur trail or not.

Revues are outstanding . I got a feeling that if they were connected to the trail someone would have raved about it on here by now.

Hope you get there.

Ihave been there on sled and the trail goes right by the diner.Also I think it will be a haul from Mercer area.Will take many different trails to get across to Delta.It is south on #4 from #2 the tri/county rail bed trail.If there could ever be a trail through the reservation up there it would be a piece of cake.Diner is very sled friendly and food is outstanding.

I wish I could remember the numbers but from Mercer head to Camp 1 and take the trail that heads west towards Butternut, go north to Glidden, head towards Clam Lake, up to Grand View, west to Drummand, North to Delta. Way home head over to Mason. Keep going east to Marengo, south to Mellen then towards Cayuga, and head east to Island Lake. Head south back to FLowage from there. Leave early and make sure of the Diners hours. It will be a long day. Guessing 250 miles? Download the Polaris Trails ap you can see the trails but it doesnt seem to show the numbers the best.

The menu prices include tip, no need to tip. Employees are paid very well, I’m thinking over 15.00 hr

Wow! You guys weren't kidding when you said it was a haul. 250 mile doesn't worry me, we ride from Presque Isle to Houghton and back for a day ride but it is a simple ride. Three trails and most of it is grade and Lake Gogebic so your flying along, making good time.

It will be a new area for us. We have always gone north and east, never west beyond Hurley/Ironwood.

I have the Polaris app, never thought about checking that. Good suggestion.

Thanks everyone for the info.
