Ontonagon County delivers some of the most beautiful riding in the Western U.P. Expect deep-winter snow, peaceful forest corridors, and the option to head west toward Lake Superior or north toward Mass City. This county is perfect for riders who want calm, scenic miles with a big, open-woods feel.

Michigan DNR Interactive Trail Map

Prefer a digital map you can zoom, pan, and explore?
The Michigan DNR Interactive Snowmobile Map is a fantastic planning tool. It shows trail lines, forest boundaries, seasonal gates, and more — all in an easy-to-use online viewer.

It’s especially helpful for:

  • Getting a feel for the terrain

  • Seeing how trails connect between counties

  • Planning longer day loops or multi-day trips

  • Understanding which areas may be heavily wooded or more remote

We still recommend downloading PDFs before you ride (cell service can be spotty), but this tool makes planning much easier.

Download Before You Go

Reception can fade fast once you’re out in the forest — especially deep into Ottawa National Forest and in much of teh Western U.P. Before you ride:

  • Save PDFs to your phone

  • Screenshot important map sections

  • Keep a paper map in your jacket or tunnel bag

  • Check Groomer Tracker to see which routes have been freshly groomed

  • Review your loop before you head out so you know your fuel and food options

  • Check your apps - some apps allow you to download maps to your phone so you still have access to them if you lose a signal

A few minutes of prep makes the whole day smoother and safer.
