Spring is just around the corner but in the meantime we are still skiing. River is just beginning to open up and the first geese have returned to the area. Keep appraised of trail conditions, wildlife sightings and fishing reports with our Trail & Fishing Report. We will be taking an excursion out to Bruce Creek on the CedarHurst properties for the trout season opener and will post our results. Spring is a great time in the UP much like the fall and we are looking forward to some warm weather after a long snowy winter.
Below is a list of the numerous activities available to you at CedarHurst Lodge. With two Lakes, the Michigamme River, 600 acres and an extensive trail system you never have to leave the property. However we have an extensive network of guides at your disposal, if you have some activities you would like to try from dog sledding to charter fishing on Lake Superior or fly fishing on area streams. We are ideally located near the town of Republic in the central Upper Peninsula 150 miles north of Green Bay, WI and only 20 minutes from the start of the Noquemanon Ski Marathon and Ore to Shore Mountain Bike Epic.
