Snowmobilers riding over a trail bridge

Free Snowmobiling Weekend

All snowmobile operators who are 12 to 16 years of age are required to take a Michigan-approved snowmobile safety course and obtain a snowmobile safety certificate. We encourage all riders to take a snowmobile safety course.

Consider purchasing a trail permit or registering your sled for the season! Michigan's snowmobile program is 100% funded by trail permit and registration dollars – dollars that are directly reinvested into the program for the benefit of snowmobilers. The important funds help pay for grooming, signage, maintenance, bridge and culvert construction, purchase of new equipment, liability insurance; maintenance of trailhead amenities (signage, bathrooms, plowing of parking lots) and other snowmobile-related expenditures.
