The Snowmobile Scene Here
Mancelona is a classic northern snowmobile town. The DNR maintains groomed trail connections throughout Antrim County that link into the broader statewide system. You can pick up USFS trails and head toward Gaylord's famous snowmobile corridor to the east, or stay local and ride the Antrim County network.
Check trail conditions at www.michigan.gov/dnr and traillink.com before your trip. Antrim County typically has excellent coverage from January through mid-March.
Your Home Base
Granny Viola's Warm Cabin
After a full day on the trails, there's something deeply satisfying about coming back to orange carpet, a wood-paneled loft, and quilts stacked on every bed. Grandma Viola's chalet has been warming up cold Northern Michigan winters since the 70s. She'd want you to hang your gear, help yourself to the candy bowl, and sign the guest book before you pass out.
No A/C needed up here in January. The electric heat works, and Viola left quilts on every bed just in case Granny's 68ยฐ thermostat setting isn't your preference.
