Arriving in Saint Helen , we made a brief stop at the Saint Helen Snowpackers clubhouse and admired their grooming equipment before making our way down the roadside to the Firehouse Bar & Grill . The restaurant was established by a former firefighter in 2007 and is decorated with firefighting items and memorabilia . The food was delicious , making it clear why the Firehouse is a popular pit stop .
After our meal , it was time for the
|
short return trip . Trusty Trail 6 brought us back to the OHSC clubhouse , this time from the back side . Dan and I thanked our hosts and bid them farewell as we headed off for our next adventure , happy to have enjoyed this outstanding riding locale .
Countless snowmobilers pass by the Ogemaw Hills on I-75 heading to points further north ( and farther from home ) without realizing what they ’ re overlooking . The West Branch Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau are working together to make this a motorsports-
|
friendly destination year-round . With
several hundred miles of excellent trails
to explore and enjoy , this locale is well
worth a visit .
