Les Cheneaux Snowmobile Club is happy to be a participant in Groomer Tracker this year. We have the tracker installed in 2 of our 3 machines. This is a screen shot of our trails and Sault Ste. Marie Snowmobile Association trails. Sign up to get access to current grooming information. https://www.groomertracker.com/
Half of the subscription fee goes back to the club!
Just because the trail is green or yellow, does mean it's in mid season form. It's still early around here.
Street addresses aren’t accurate enough to specify precise locations, such as building entrances, and don’t exist for parks and many rural areas.
This makes it hard to find places and prevents people from describing exactly where help is needed in an emergency. Click Here for What 3 Words

The Les Cheneaux Snowmobile Club is one of the earliest snowmobile clubs in the state. It was founded in 1967 by local residents who loved snowmobiling. Over rivers, creeks and through the woods on over 100 miles of our groomed trails won’t get you to grandma’s house, but you will ride on some of the nicest trails in the country. Wildlife is plentiful as you ride over I-75 on the snowmobile bridge east through the Hessel/Cedarville area and then to DeTour. Heading north from Cedarville or DeTour the trails join up north of Pickford as you continue to Kinross or the Soo.
The Club is part of the Michigan state-wide trail grooming network and is a member of the Michigan Snowmobile Association and the EUP Snowmobile Council. The MSA and EUPSC work tirelessly to promote and support the sport of snowmobiling.
The MSA publishes the "Michigan Snowmobile News" magazine - to learn more visit the MSA website and connect with them on Facebook. The EUPSC publishes a comprehensive trail map that shows all State sanctioned snowmobile trails in the EUP as well as other helpful information. The maps can be found throughout the
EUP at many businesses.
As a grant sponsor for the statewide trail system, the Club receives a per mile stipend from the State Snowmobile Trail Fund. This stipend helps cover fuel, normal maintenance, insurance, etc. The groomers belong to the State and the Club agrees to maintain and repair them.
Every fall the LCSC receives funds to cover expenses that the Club is responsible for such as signage, brushing, gates onto private property and repairing trails for the coming season. The Club is also responsible for acquiring easements for the trail system on private property 80% of Les Cheneaux trails are on private property. A payment is made from the Trail Funds for these easements..
Money to maintain and groom trails comes from Trail Permits and snowmobile registration fees. No state general fund tax dollars are used in the program in Michigan. The DNR administers the funds in accordance with policies that are agreed upon by the DNR and the Snowmobile Advisory Work Group. Policies are reviewed and modified as needed.
Every December the LCSC offers a snowmobile safety and educational class for young snowmobilers who are between the ages of 12 and 17. The class is taught by certified instructors and participants receive a DNR patch and certificate. There is no charge to attend and parents are also invited to attend. Class size is limited and pre-registration is required. For more information on the safety class schedule email

The many dedicated members who volunteer their time are at the heart of the LCSC. Their generous spirit, friendship and shared passion for the sport are what make our Club so special. Each year volunteers endure rain, sleet, cold and snowy weather to keep our local trails open. Through their efforts our trails are fun to ride and a proud accomplishment for our Club. There are NO paid employees in the LCSC. Our groomer operators donate100% of their time, which can amount to hundreds of hours per groomer operator each year. Volunteers do make a difference - become involved!
Dues and grant sponsorship alone do not cover the costs of grooming over 100 miles of trails. The Club sponsors fund raising events to assist in covering our costs. The LCSC is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Donations to the Club are tax deductible on your income tax return.
Club members attend regular monthly meetings the first Thursday of every month at 7PM in the Cedarville Clubhouse. Contact the Les Cheneaux Snowobile Club to receive your meeting reminder.
