During this weekend, Michigan residents and nonresidents can legally ride DNR – designated routes and trails without purchasing an ORV licence or trail permit. Riders will be saving up to $36.25.
Where to ride
During the free ORV weekend, Michigan residents and nonresidents can ride DNR- designated routes and trails without purchasing an ORV licence or trail permit. The weekend also includes the use of the state’s five scramble areas, including St. Helen’s Motosport Area, Black Lake Scramble Area, Silver Lake Bull Gap and The Mounds.
