Welcome to the Missaukee Trail Blazers Webpage!
The Missaukee Trail Blazers are a non-profit organization dedicated to the recreational riding of snowmobiles. Our trails offer some of Michigan's finest natural scenery and lots of quality snow.
Based in Lake City Michigan, we are responsible for the care, maintenance and grooming of over 55 miles of trails throughout Missaukee County. Missaukee County is located in Northern Michigan, between Houghton Lake and Cadillac. Our towns have plenty of Motels, Restaurants, Gas Stations, General Hardware Stores and Snow to meet every snowmobiler's needs.
Our trail systems interconnect with other trail systems in Wexford, Roscommon and Kalkaska Counties to provide you the snowmobiler with hundreds of seamless miles of quality snowmobile trails. If you enjoy snowmobile riding in Northern Michigan, please consider joining our club. Your membership helps keep our trails safe through proper brushing, signing and grooming.
On behalf of the Missaukee Trail Blazers I sincerely hope that you will take advantage of the beautiful trail system maintained by this club and we hope that you consider participating.
Fred Bartholomew
Missaukee Trail Blazers President

Vandlism on the 6 over the weekend of the 3rd
Its unfortunate that some individuals seem to take pleasure in the destruction of property. Over the weekend of the 3rd trail 6 from Lucas Rd to 131 was vandalized by a person(s) who for unknown reasons desided it would be enjoyable to drive a 1997-2000 Kia Sportage over more than 17 trail signs. The signs are back up thanks to the great volunteers we have and we are now looking for the person responsible. The operator did cause some damage to the drivers side front wheel and left enough evidence for us to identify the make, model, and estimate the year of the vehicle used. As mentioned, we are looking for 1997-2000 Kia Sportage with BF Goodrich All Terrian tires with a missing left front hub cap and possible fender/bumper damage. If you have information, or have seen a vehicle resembling it, please contact us.
New Trail Segment
The new trail segment is complete and ready for use. This new segment extends the 651 from just South of M-42 to Randal Rd. We want to thank all the contractors and volunteers who helped make this extension possible and the members who worked to secure leases, brush, sign, and prep the new segment for use this season.

Calling All Snowmobilers!
Snowmobile trail signs are being stolen all across Michigan. The DNR has an ad campaign alerting us of the dangers of removing signs from our trails.
Signs are coming up missing in Missaukee County all over the Miss-Kal trail. We are asking snowmobilers who see anyone removing signs to get the registration numbers of the snowmobile and report them to the DNR. Please do not confront the thief as we do not want to cause a confrontation and put the reporter in any immediate danger. Call 1-800-292-7800 to file a report. Also, please call (231) 839-7986 and report missing signs to our Trail Coordinator. We will dispatch a crew to get them replaced immediately! Sign theft is not only illegal it is also very dangerous to riders. Furthermore stealing signs is costly. Part of your Trail Permit Fee pays for the signs on our trails. People who steal signs are stealing from everyone who bought a trail permit!
