Michigan's ORV Trails

Michigan’s public ORV trails offer thousands of miles of single- and double-track riding opportunities.

These trails are lightly groomed. Riders are likely to encounter narrow sand trails, rough moguls, steep hills, stumps, rocks, brush, loose surfaces, and other hazards.

Michigan’s ORV trails and routes are designed for two-way travel. Users always need to be alert for oncoming traffic.

• Trails are designed for motorcycles and ATVs and are recommended for advanced riders only.
• Be alert at all times when riding on routes designated for other vehicles, including automobiles and trucks. Many times, drivers of larger vehicles fail to notice smaller motorcycles and ATVs.

To prepare for safety:

• Always make sure your ORV is in good operating condition.
• Check the gas level before riding. In one hour, riders can travel farther than they can walk in eight.
• Don’t forget your tools, trail maps, a first-aid kit, and a compass.
• Always ride with a companion.
• Know your local emergency telephone numbers before you ride.
