Michigan residents and nonresidents legally can ride in the Silver Lake Sand Dunes ORV area and any DNR-designated routes and trails without purchasing an ORV license or ORV trail permit June 7-8 &  August 16-17, 2025

During the June Free ORV Weekend, not only can you ride your ORV for free, but the Recreation Passport entry fee is being waived that weekend (you can enter all state parks and boating access sites for free) AND it’s Free Fishing Weekend, where residents and out-of-state visitors can fish without a license! Do all three, for free.
