Place to unload in Calumet

[boomer]

We've got a group of 10 of us coming up Feb. 26-March 3. Booked our cabins at Wildlife Refuge Cabins in South Range. Three trucks/trailers in our group. Been keeping a close eye on the current trail conditions and going through Houghton/Hancock looks grim. The extended forecast is looking promising for late next week, but if that forecast doesn't pan out we're considering trailering up to Calumet to drop off.

Is there any good places to unload in the Calumet area? In years past we've dropped off at Vansville, but I've heard that's not an option this year with the new owners remodeling the place. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I think Trailside lodge allows for that. Might be a fee, can't remember.

You might try the AmericInn on Sixth St. or perhaps the parking lot of the old Shopko which is now a self storage facility just before the AmericInn at the Mine Street Station. That lot is pretty large & the trail out is nearby.

Trailside lodge has parking 10 dollars per day easy access to the trail

All of the above are great, but after this week riding out of houghton shouldn’t be a problem.

I think Houghton/Hancock will be fine

Thanks for everyone's replies, I appreciate it. With the recent snowfall it looks like no issues going through Houghton/Hancock on the trails.
