Many are mapped, marked, and graded according to skills. Trails lead through forests, beside lakes, across meadows, many with rest stops along the way. Snowmobiling promises adventure along miles of marked and groomed trails that connect to extended trails across bordering states and Ontario. Groomed trails stretch like snow highways through forests, across frozen lakes and streams. Snowmobiling activities include races, derbies, and festivals.
Rental machines are available in many snowmobiling areas.
Mushing behind a team of sled dogs is a growing sport, with most every winter festival featuring a sled dog race. Some visitors consider the Upper Peninsula's luge run as the ultimate in thrills. Others try winter camping. Still others are happy to sit in a rustic lodge beside a roaring fire and watch snowflakes drift past the window. Snowshoeing can be a leisurely stroll through the forest or race against time.
