Contact this club. http://www.cycleconservationclub.org/ They have all of the info you need including maps.
Also you must get a ORV sticker to ride on public land and have a spark arrester.

Thanks Layton,

How does an out of state rider go about getting a sticker?
Any body know what the "HOT" spots are to hit when you are up there?
In other words what are your favorite riding spots up there?

thanks again
mxbundy

Go to any Walmart or store that sells hunting license.

The ORV loops all have names. I like Bass Lake, Sandtown, Two-Hearted. All are fun but some can be whooped out perty bad

While up there I LOVED Sandtown it was a great trail. We also went to Donahar(sp?) Plains. It was really whooped and real open.

mxbundy,
Are you looking for technical trails or 5th gear trails? The most technical trail is on Drummond Island. Brevort is another nice loop of trail.
I spent last weekend in the UP. GREAT riding!!!! Lots of rocks (I called them moon rocks). You will want to bring extra tires and maybe an extra pipe.
If you want some additional details, send me an email. I have a friend in Marquette that might provide some guidance.
Mike

Mxbundy--this is one of the best trail systems I have ridden. I went last year and going this week to the MIO, MI area for 4 days. Join the CCC it's only $25. Its a great organization and you will get one of their monthly newletters that are really cool. I just wish I wasn't 8 hrs away or I would be up their more often.

Enjoy your trip!!
