Snowmobiling is a popular pastime in and around the Lakeshore. A number of unplowed roads lead to major points of interest. Log Slide and Miners Castle are possibly the two most popular.

Snowmobiles are permitted on designated portions of roadways and lakes in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

The designated routes for snowmobiles are the frozen waters of Lake Superior and Grand Sable Lake, and the major Lakeshore roads used by motorists in the summer.

These unplowed roads and the shoulders of plowed park roads are open to snowmobiling in conformance with state law. With the exception of the trails listed below, snowmobiles are not permitted where vehicles are not allowed in summer.
