Keweenaw Ride
46th Annual Keweenaw Ride
RIDE INFORMATION: OUR RIDE BASE CAMP WILL BE AT THE MARQUETTE COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS M-553 BETWEEN MARQUETTE AND GWINN. Base camp is about 8.5 miles south of US 41 near Marquette or about 11 miles north of Gwinn.
The trails are beautiful, mostly two track or designated horse trails; trails are hard pack sand and grass, limited rock, with a small degree of road riding. Vet checks are in camp. It is an easy ride to do without a pit crew. Base camp is at the fairgrounds in an open grassy field with a few electric hook ups (bring electrical cords), indoor bathrooms and water from a hose. We do have a box stall available for $15 for the weekend, you may need to bring sawdust and will have to clean your stalls after use. If you plan to use box stalls, you can use the RV area for electric hook up, but horses are not allowed by electric hook ups per fair rules. The grounds have good cell phone service. We have wonderful trophies and a best condition award from an easy-going group of people. On Saturday night, we will have our legendary Be There Raffle! We are always accepting raffle donations. Saturday night potluck, please bring a dish to pass. Shopping, restaurants, and feed stores are only a 15-minute drive from the camp.

From the South: US 41 North to Highway 35 North to M-553 North and turn left onto Co Rd Nh to the fairgrounds. Take the first road to the right into the fair parking area and our camping area. Watch for signs.
