"To ensure everyone's safety and the pro- tection of our natural resources, ORV riders are cautioned to only ride their machines where it's legal to operate them," said Cpl. John Morey, DNR ORV and snowmobile coordinator. "ORV restrictions are in place to protect Michigan's natural resources and minimize user conflict with other outdoor recreation enthusiasts." ORV TRAIL SYSTEM It is illegal to operate an ORV on public lands in the Lower Peninsula unless on the DNR designated ORV trail system. Michigan's ORV trail system has three basic types of trails, including: • Motorcycle-only trails maintained at a 28-inch width • 50-inch-wide trails open to ORVs that are 50 inches wide or less • ORV routes maintained at a width of 72 inches Off-trail or off-route ORV operation out- side of a designated trail is prohibited, except for licensed hunters removing deer, bear or elk and operating an ORV at speeds of 5 miles per hour or less and traveling to the harvested game using the shortest possible route. In the Lower Peninsula, the ORV trail/ route system is the only legal place to ride non-Secretary of State-licensed ORVs on public lands other than frozen waters. In the Upper Peninsula, it is legal for ORVs to oper- ate on state forest roads as well as the des- ignated trail system, unless a specific state forest road is posted closed to ORV use. STATE PARKS AND NATIONAL FORESTS ORVs generally are prohibited on state game areas or state parks and recreation areas. In all national forests, motor vehicles can be used only on roads, trails or areas that are designated as open on motor vehicle use maps. For more information, contact the local national forest headquarters. PUBLIC ROADS Roads, streets and highways maintained for year-round automobile travel (including the shoulder and the right-of-way) are closed to ORV operation unless designated open to ORV use by local ordinance. ORV operators should check with that county's sheriff, road commission or clerk for local ordinances. It is illegal to operate ORVs on state and federal highways, including the shoulders and rights of way. CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT An ORV may not be operated in a manner that creates an erosive condition. Michigan's soils and shorelines are fragile, and ORV operation in these areas and along stream banks and other waterways is prohibited. It is unlawful to operate any ORV in or on the waters of any stream, river, marsh, bog, wet- land or quagmire. For more information about ORV regula- tions and safe operation, see the Handbook of Michigan Off-Road Vehicle Laws (www. offroad-ed.com/michigan/handbook). Maps of state-designated ORV trails also can be found there. * Ride off-road vehicles safely and legally this summer.
