Get your thoughts out there or don't complain!
Under Public Act 288 of 2016, you may use off-road vehicles on state forest roads unless the DNR designates otherwise. The law also requires ongoing mapping and inventory of these roads. This review applies only to state forest roads and does not affect ORV use on other roads, such as those managed by counties or townships.

Proposed updates may include:
Adding previously unmapped roads or removing roads that no longer exist.
Changing access for conventional (street-legal) vehicles by opening or closing roads.
Opening or closing roads to off-road vehicle use.
Modifying seasonal access on certain roads.
How to share feedback
The DNR encourages the public to review the proposed updates and submit comments by Dec. 1 using one of the following options:

Online: Visit Michigan.gov/ForestRoads to explore the interactive map or download printable PDFs of the proposed updates.
Email: Send comments to [email protected]
Approved changes
The DNR welcomes public comments during upcoming Michigan Natural Resources Commission meetings in early 2027. The commission will review the proposed updates at its January and February meetings, and the DNR director is expected to make a final decision at the February meeting.

The History, the Investment, and the Responsibility We All Share
A little history, a little education, and a reality check for every rider.
In today’s world, social media seems to be the first place people turn when they have a question. Unfortunately, it is also a place where misinformation spreads quickly. Some people genuinely want to help, while others seem compelled to send someone in the wrong direction or offer answers that simply aren’t accurate. I encourage everyone to seek information from people who understand the subject, have experience, and know the facts. Sometimes the correct answer isn’t necessarily the answer we want to hear, but that doesn’t make it any less important. When it comes to Michigan’s snowmobile trails, understanding our history is just as important as protecting our future.

Let me ask you a question.
