SNOWMOBILING ON PLOWED
HOUGHTON COUNTY ROADS IS PROHIBITED
But you may drive on the
plowed shoulder when no other room on the
right-of-way is available; as long as you drive with
reasonable care and at a reasonable speed.
This is the interpretation of state
law allowing snowmobiles to drive within county road
right-of-ways only in counties so posted.
Snowmobiling is not permitted
on state highways, and laws within the cities and
villages may differ depending on local ordinances.
Increasing complaints of high-speed
racing and near accidents with cars and trucks are going
to eliminate convenient snowmobiling in Houghton County.
Please, when you are using the plowed
shoulders, drive with extreme caution, at a reasonable
speed and watch for cross roads and parked cars. A
snowmobile is no match for a 3000 lb. car.
Have a safe snowmobiling trip
and help preserve the Copper Country’s reputation of a
Winter Wonderland.
