Snowmobiling
With thousands of acres of State and Federal land made for winter fun, there is no place like Crawford County when it comes to snowmobiling. Marked trails are groomed by the AuSable Valley Snowmobile Association. One of the largest trail systems in the state links the Grayling area with Lovells, Lewiston, Frederic and Gaylord. Other trails connect to Roscommon and Houghton Lake. A full color snowmobile map is available for the area.
In the heart of the snowbelt, Grayling offers the first good snowmobiling for winter fun-seekers heading north. The easy accessibility of Crawford County from I-75 and U.S.27 means snowmobilers spend most of their weekend on their sleds, not in their cars. Enjoy a day touring the magnificent, rolling terrain, and spend the evening relaxing at one of the many restaurants and comfortable lodging facilities. Rental, sales, storage and repair services are available at local businesses. Make Crawford County the place to center your snowmobiling trip. Everything you could ask for in a winter snowmobiling weekend can be found here, so plan to join us for a true winter experience!
Trail conditions are available by calling the Grayling Visitors Bureau at 1-800-937-8837, or by entering our web site under Updates – snowmobiling. To receive email updates on snow conditions, sign up under “mailing lists” or RSS Feed.
The AuSable Valley Snowmobile Association, “Volunteers for Better Trails”, work hard to maintain a pleasant, safe riding experience for everyone. When you’re out riding the trails, please think of these hardworking folks and respect their efforts. Many volunteer hours are spent by a handful of people to insure that your snowmobiling experience is the best one possible. When encountering groomer vehicles on the trails, please slow down and stop off the trail if necessary. Look for and obey the groomer driver’s signals to pass. Remember that all of the groomer drivers you will encounter in our area are volunteers.
