What's it like for riding around Iron River?

Here is a trail map of Bayfield County. Iron River is in the central western part of the county.

Best snow right now is mostly north of Iron River.

Trail 2 is a railroad grade running east to west. Parts of trail 63 is railroad grade as well. Besides those, I would say about 20% of the trails are fire road or road based. The rest is twisty trails through the woods.

Thanks vmax. Should have stated that differently. Have been to Iron River area many times. Should have asked for trail conditions but you kind of answered that. Can a person get down the Horsepasture grade or do you run out of snow? Is 2 good all the way back to Superior? Thanks.

No problem grub --- thought you might be asking about conditions. In summary, 10 miles north of Iron River is good to excellent; 15 miles south of Iron River to 10 miles north of Iron River is fair to good; south of there is fair. Painting a broad picture but this the general conditions with the exception of towards Mason which I've heard is not too good.

Reports are the Drummond groomer is operating so the Horse Pasture Grade should be good to go. In regards to 2, Brule River Riders reports:

"Trail # 2: Groomed from Brule to Poplar in the loop route Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Most of that section is very good condition but thin around Hwy P. Condition to the west is fair to poor. "

Have been going out to Namakagan since 1990. Back then snow cover was never an issue. Just pick a date and go. It was always good. But since the middle 90's there has been less and less snow and a few years with no snow at all. Like last year. And so far this year. Have been to Mich on a few of these low snow years but it gets to be such a zoo because everyone and their dog is there and the trails are crap. No offense to Mich but there comes a point that there is just too much traffic to keep the trails decent. Just not humanly possible to keep up. Weather patterns are changing for whatever reasons. Even up here in NW Minn things are different from when I was a kid. Oh well. Maybe I will pester you again in a week or ten days to see if you got any more snow. Thanks.
