ALGER COUNTY — The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has closed a snowmobile trail for the 2016 season.

Snowmobile Trail No. 422 from Trail No. 8 to Miners Castle in Munising has been shutdown because the Alger County Road Commission did not grant the DNR access to use Highway 58 (H-58) as a groomed trail to access Miners Castle.

To make up for lost access of the 13 mile trail, DNR Officials are working on an alternate route for the 2017 season.
