  ATV Trail Riding in Michigan U.P.

  Posted by cowboy on March 10, 2024 at 10:57 pm

  Going to ride in the U.P.

  Michigan Trails and Recreation Alliance of Land and the Environment, commonly known as MI-TRALE, is an alliance of multiple trail and outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

  The Ottawa National Forest has over 2,300 miles of Forest Service road and trail open to off-highway vehicles (OHVs).

  Roads and trails designated as open to OHVs are open to vehicles 65 inches or less in width and utilizing off-road low pressure tires.

  Attached mitrails.org Maps that show ATV’s/ORV’s are allowed:

  • St-Ignace-to-Trout-Lake-Trail
  • North-Country-Trail-Mackinac-County
  • Manistique-Boardwalk
  • Keweenaw-Peninsula-Trails-Network
  •  Jack-Stevens-Hancock-Calumet-Trail
  • Iron-Ore-Heritage-Trail
  • Houghton-Waterfront-Trail
  • Houghton-Chassell-Trail
  • Haywire-Grade-Trail
  • Apple-Blossom-Trail

  A few other maps from other source that clearly are for ATV/ORV’s

  • Bill_Nicholls_Route-ATV_ORV
  • IRON_RIVER_MARENISCO_ROUTE-ATV-ORV

  This is a start but I will need to start looking more closely and see how to plan a trip with our ATV in the UP.

  My next attempt at finding trails and where we can ride our ATV is these resources:

  • trailsoffroad
  • onx Offroad
  • VVMapping (I have some papermaps)
  • GAIA (allows planning online)
