Old Grade Ski Trail

Old Grade Ski Trail

Trail Distance:

4.2 miles with 2 loops that are 1.5 miles and 4.2 miles long.

Trail Description and Location:

The Old Grade Ski Trail is located at Courtney Lake just 8 miles east of Mass City on highway M-38. This 4.2 mile long trail with gentle slopes meanders through hardwoods and pine plantations and parts of a historic wooded railroad grade used for logging during the turn of the century. The trail is groomed and tracked on a weekly basis and provides a shorter two mile loop as well. The Bergland Ski Trail is located just one mile north of Bergland, off M-64. Scenic hardwoods and pockets of hemlock provide the backdrop for a 3.2 mile ski trail. You may find yourself sharing the trail with white-tailed deer as the hemlock provides thermal cover for them along with a variety of other fur bearing mammals and wintering songbirds. An auxiliary trail loop of 3.4 miles in length adds hills and short slopes of medium difficulty for the skier. The trail is groomed weather permitting, and the skier should call the Ontonagon Ranger District for a current grooming report.
