WELCOME TO Les Cheneaux Snowmobile Club

Les Cheneaux Snowmobile Club, a Michigan nonprofit corporation founded in 1967, was created to advance the general welfare and safety of snowmobiling and ORV riding in the Les Cheneaux area. Even though our name only states "Snowmobile" to include 109 miles of snowmobile trails, we also support 102 miles of ORV Routes to provide year-round enjoyment over some of the nicest trails in the UP. Our volunteers are out all year maintaining our trails/routes whether grooming, brushing, signing or trail maintenance. Snowmobile trails and ORV routes start in Detour Village with the Snowmobile trails running west till just past I-75 and the ORV routes running west to M-123 which includes the towns of Cedarville, Hessel, Pickford, Moran, Goetzville and Detour Village. Our Trails and Routes are interconnected on the west end with the snowmobile trails meeting up with the Mackinac Co. Snowmobile Trail Club on Trail 47 and the ORV Routes meeting up with the Trout Lake Trail Riders Association on Route M.

Trail and Route updates are available on our Facebook page (Les Cheneaux Snowmobile Club and Grooming Report)

3/16/2026

3/16/2026 - We have had record breaking gale and blizzard - huge!  We know March brings erratic weather - proven once again.  The wind has been incredible with abundant snow and drifting.  There is the possibility of icing as the final gift of this storm system.  It is going to take some time to dig out - snowmobiles may be the best means of transportation.  Our trails are open, but note there have been breakthrough water areas from earlier warming.  You may encounter late-season wet spots on the trails.  Our groomers are out and working to remedy water hazards as best they can - please be cautious should you encounter water.  The forecast is good for an extension of snowmobiling.
