Business opportunities in state parks, trails and waterways
We partner with small businesses to help expand visitor services and experiences throughout the state parks and recreation system. These concessionaires provide goods and/or services and have the ability to enter into a contract for up to seven years. You'll find concessions, restaurants, gift shops, rental outfitters, water park operators, guide services and many other "outdoorpreneur" partners.
We also work with small businesses to provide RV rentals and guide services to visitors, and we welcome new ideas outside what's always been done.
Interested in future opportunities, want to share a concession idea or join the business opportunity mailing list? Contact Lori Green at GreenL9@Michigan.gov or call 989-889-9178.
