Twice a year, residents and out-of-state visitors legally can Michigan’s 4,000 miles of off-road vehicle trails and routes and the state’s six scramble areas (Bull Gap, Black Lake Scramble Area, Holly Oaks ORV Park, Silver Lake State Park, The Mounds and St. Helen’s Motorsport Area) without an ORV license or trail permit. All other ORV rules and laws still apply, and the Recreation Passport is required where applicable.
This year’s free weekends take place June 10-11 and Aug. 19-20, 2023.
