OH BOY - Lake Gogebic Update December 10

Oh boy — I’ve been in the plow all day yesterday, and today’s looking like a repeat performance! It snowed steadily all day yesterday and there’s more in the forecast. Temps should sit in the mid-20s today, then start dropping hard. By Friday we’re looking at around -10°F, with sub-zero temps likely through the weekend. Great news for freezing up the wet spots and Lake Gogebic, but it’ll be frigid if you’re heading out on the trails — plan ahead and dress for it.

AJ’s Lodge & Oven Hours / Event​

AJ’s will be open Thursday–Saturday this weekend, and we’ve got our Italian Dinner Saturday night with Tom Katalin.
Parking note: Please park up on top and walk down to the restaurant — the lower lot is soft and getting worked hard by the snow.
