WELCOME TO MUNISING
Nestled within glacier-formed hills on the southern shore of Lake Superior, Munising is well endowedwith prime, scenic snowmobile-trails. Well over 200 inches of snow blankets the area annually, one
important reason for Munising's popularity as a winter sports mecca. Abundant snow, combined with
winter temperatures moderated by the influence of the Great Lakes, makes winter here everything a
snowmobiler seeks. Scenic forests of hardwoods and spruce/fir trees add character to the area's
numerous groomed trails, and the additional attractions of quiet streams, isolated lakes and awesome
glacial formations along the way make the setting all the more beautiful under a cover of sparkling snow.
Winter brings adventure as well as solitude on Munising's hundreds of miles of exciting snowmobile
routes.
Miles and miles of wilderness trails following old logging roads and pathways beckon the snowmobiler
seeking the beauty and solitude of the great northwoods. Map and compass are all that are needed to
explore the vast lands of the Hiawatha National Forest and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
The Ice Caves along the shores of Grand Island provide an outing of spectacular beauty. Snowmobilers are cautioned, however, to check ice conditions with local law enforcement agencies before
crossing the bay.

WELCOME TO MUNISING. Have a safe and pleasant visit!
Dear snowmobiler:
Welcome to the Munising area. We want your stay to be an enjoyable one. If there is anything we can do to make your
stay more enjoyable please ask.
The Munising area is usually a quiet family area. Most folks in the area work shift work as our largest employers run
twenty-four hour operations. This means that there is always someone sleeping somewhere. We ask you to think of these
people going to and returning from the trail. Keep speeds down so as not to create any unnecessary noise.
In the past few years we have been expanding our trail network so that many popular attractions may be visited without
riding on a plowed road. Miners Castle and Munising Bay among them. Please use our trail system form your snowmobiling.
The streets you will be riding to access the trail network or various services (this is the only reason you should be riding
them) have many young children living near them. Please be careful and go slow as they may not always take the time to
look for you. Country roads have a 30 MPH speed limit that is strictly enforced. The use of roads and streets is a privilege
that may be taken from us if we do not use them carefully.
You may not ride the plowed portion of any state (M) highway. When riding country roads stay on the right and obey
snowmobile speed signs. When riding the city streets, ride single file on the right side at 10 mph. Do not ride in people’s
yards or cut across corners, stay on the road. Riding on people’s private property is trespassing with fines up to $ 500.00!
Please remember to only ride on roads and streets to gain access to a trail, ride single file, keep the speed down and do
not trespass.
If you are in violation, and stopped you can be sure of a substantial fine and a pretty good look at you and your machine.
The purpose of this notice is not to throw a wet blanket on your fun, but rather, let those few that would ruin it for the rest
of us know that we are tired of them ruining our sport. This is why we will be asking the police to help us keep our sport by
cracking down on the outlaws. You are not welcome here if you cannot respect our neighbors property or if you think you
left all laws and common sense at home and this is where you “run free”.
