Hundreds of miles of trails allow access to the entire Upper Peninsula. Snowmobile rentals and trail maps are available. But before you head out, you will need a trail permit.
Why do I need a snowmobile trail permit?
Any person (resident and nonresident) that operates a snowmobile in Michigan is required to purchase a snowmobile trail permit. The trail permit enables snowmobilers to ride statedesignated trails and thousands more miles of public roads and on public lands (where authorized). It is valid for one year, which begins October 1 and ends September 30 of the following year. State-designated trails are open December 1 through March 31 and grooming occurs when there is enough snow on the ground. Permit Cost: $48.00
