ORV RULES FOR STATE FOREST ROADS

Michigan residents have until Aug. 31 to help us decide which state forest roads will be open or closed to off-road vehicles in 2020. Mapping and inventorying state forest roads is an ongoing effort, with reviews being completed on the ground by staff as well as an in-depth review of public comments each year.
