Paulding to Big Bay 1/15 - Seeking Advice

[bayfly]

We have a group of 12 scheduled to backpack from the Running Bear to Big Bay on Friday and back on Saturday. Can anyone give advice on if the trails are rideable between these locations? Is this a trip worth doing given the current conditions? Would a different route be better? We can't easily reschedule the trip so we would consider alternate plans. Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

Don't see it in the cards today any route not enough snow. You have to see if John's Les forecast happens & what locations get the benefit during the week.

Try tr 8 to tr 15 to L'anse to tr 14 to big bay.. Tr 14 is a great ride, I don't know the conditions

From there to Lanse should be good. Not sure from there to Big Bay. Marquette through Ispeming and back should be good after next few days.

I am most concerned with the trail from Lanse to BB. There are no groomer reports out of BB and I believe someone reported a beaver dam on that trail.
