The Cheboygan Trail Blazers do a wonderful job grooming the trails each winter. The group takes care of more than 37-miles of trails, grooming daily! They also brush the trails in the fall. If you would like to make a donation to this organization, it would be greatly appreciated. Their address is: Cheboygan Trail Blazers, P.O. Box 5223, Cheboygan, Michigan 49721.
