Kick Off Snowmobile Season at Hay Days Snowmobile Show 2025 — Then Ride the Trails in Michigan’s U.P.

If you’re a snowmobiler, you’ve probably heard of Hay Days, the legendary snowmobile show in North Branch, Minnesota. Every September, thousands of riders gather for what’s known as “The Official Start of Winter.” It’s a high-energy weekend filled with new sled reveals, racing, swap meets, and the camaraderie that comes with snowmobiling.

The Hay Days Snowmobile Show 2025 takes place September 6–7. The event is proudly hosted and sponsored by the Sno Barons Snowmobile Club, a volunteer organization dedicated to supporting and growing the sport.

But after the dust (and grass drags) settle at Hay Days, the real fun begins—planning your winter riding adventures.

What makes the Hay Days Snowmobile Show 2025 Special?

• New Sled Reveals – Brands like Polaris, Arctic Cat, and Ski-Doo showcase their latest machines.

• Huge Swap Meet – One of the largest in the world, offering everything from vintage sled parts to new gear.

• Racing & Freestyle Shows – High-octane entertainment all weekend long.

• Snowmobile Community – It’s where riders connect, trade stories, and get hyped for the season ahead.

From Hay Days to the Western U.P.

While Hay Days kicks off the season, the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan is where the action continues all winter long. With hundreds of miles of groomed snowmobile trails, deep lake-effect snow, thousands of acres of public land in the Ottawa National Forest, and a welcoming snowmobile culture, the U.P. is one of the Midwest’s top sledding destinations.

Here in Trout Creek and Kenton, we’re right in the middle of it all. Our trails connect you to Ontonagon, Ironwood, Marquette, Iron River, Houghton, and beyond—making Two Rivers Motel & Cabins a perfect home base for your riding adventures.
