Porcupine Mountain Snowmobile Tour

Hamilton's North Coast Adventures and Rentals' 1,000-acre private riding park and rental facility is nestled between the 990,000-acre Ottawa National Forest and the Porcupine Mountains State Park.

Rent a snowmobile and trek through the famed Porcupine Mountains that house one of the Upper Peninsula's greatest attractions: the Lake of the Clouds. Located inside the park, the slender lake is bordered by gigantic rock escarpments and bluffs, getting the "of the clouds" folklore from the long journey up from Lake Superior to the viewing deck.

Ride up to and around to this beautiful destination, the most photographed site in the park and all of Michigan. After taking in the incredible view, ride down Trail #11, known as the snowmobile autobahn, as it winds along 20-plus miles of the park's south boundary road.

Continuing south down Trail #102 to the immense Lake Gogebic area, you will find restaurants and spots to warm up. When you're ready to return to the rental shop to check in your snowmobile, you can choose several trail options. Some will be a direct ride back, while others provide a scenic route back.

The additional sights on your ride back may include: Houghton Lift Bridge, Houghton; Bond Falls, Watersmeet; Mt. Arvon, L'anse; Gabbro Falls, Bessemer; Lake Gogebic, Bergland; Snowmobile Trail 160; and more.
