We’re back at it again with finding the best trails in Michigan! An interesting thing about this state is that their left turns often confuse people who aren’t from there. You have to take a right turn and then do a U-turn to get back in the right direction. It doesn’t make any sense. But do you know what does make sense? Ripping your UTV or ATV through the trails that leave you with breathtaking views.
It’s no secret that Michigan is known as the Great Lakes State. It gives you everything you want for an off-road trip. There are plenty of lakes that are friendly toward your OHV and sand that can be shredded by your tires. Cooling off in the lake sounds like a smart idea after sweating around hot engines all day. Then there’s more than enough traditional UTV trails in Michigan to keep you busy.
Now, let’s check out the best riding spots. These UTV trails in Michigan are in no particular order and can give you the ride of your life.
NOTE: Park details and prices reflect what was current as of June 2021.While most trails are free to access, an ORV trail permit ($10) may be required.
Even though OHVs aren’t allowed on regular roads unless special conditions are met, there’s still a ton of UTV trails in Michigan that can satisfy your riding needs. We’d love to name every single one, but sadly, no one has time for that.
But that’s why trail riding is full of incredible possibilities. And they’re not all in Michigan! To see more of what’s out there, check out some of the top riding spots in the US.

Even though all these trails are “free”, they are not. A trail permit is required but the fee is nominal and good for 6 months.
