The Heart of the U.P.’s SNOWMOBILE Capitol

Gwinn is the crossroads of the central Upper Peninsula snowmobile trail system, making it the perfect launch point for endless winter adventure. From here, you can head in any direction, north to Marquette, west toward Baraga, east to Munising’s trails and frozen waterfalls all in an easy day’s ride. Unlike the crowded routes of the Keweenaw Peninsula, Gwinn offers wide-open trails, less traffic, and a laid-back atmosphere that lets you ride at your own pace. With reliable snow, friendly stops along the way, and connections to hundreds of miles of groomed trails, it’s the U.P.’s best-kept snowmobiling secret.
