Check this site out: http://schwarttzy.com/trails-and-parks

Has a marker for every trail in Michigan, including the ORV trails that are state owned. There is Twisted Trails north of Cadillac, which is a newer place, by newer I mean the last five years. Anyway, take a look at the site, check out the trails, and plan your trip accordingly. Hope that helps.

Claire, MI. Great park run by a really good staff. Lots of trails to challenge you no matter what your rig is.

 

I have not been here yet but I have heard great things about this place.

 

West Branch and St Helen have some decent trails along with a new rock course.

 

Good info! I will check out the sites. It would be great to have a ORV area closer to Detroit, an after work type thing.

 

Some people are working on opening a new park just north of Oakland Co. but it is in the planning stages at this time.

 

that would be great! how long of a drive from royal oak?

It's clare. Get it right. Gosh.

 

Sorry, you are correct, Harrison. Still a great park for sure.

Rocks and Valleys is by far the best all around wheeling for whatever level of rig you have

But, you'll have to check it out yourself and form your own opinion.

 

Well all the parks have their own theme. Rocks and Valleys gives back a great feel for wooded wheeling with plenty to play on for all .rock crawls to off camber and mudd. I am there most every weekend. Bundy has a great open pit wheeling area with some cool trails cut into the woods section they have. Twisted trails have what their names says and a nice section of extreme large features. The mounds is the mudd guys dreams . St. Hellens is a nice break from boring state land trail rides, With a developing rock area, Best to plan a trip to all to make a fav spot.

 

Worth the drive

If youve never been to the Sliver lake Sand Dunes in Mears Mi I highly recommend you give it a go. You can spend all day on the dunes and then camp at the nearby RV friendly State park.:thumbsup:

 

Rocks and valleys is great. I went last February. We called the care keeper the day before and let him know we were coming. He opened the park for me and my two buddies. The three of us wheeled all day in the fresh snow and never saw another person. We had the entire park to ourselves! Best day of wheeling I ever had. I'll upload some pics when I get home.

 

Here is vid from that day. Check out my other videos too to see the other ones

 

rocks and valleys 2-16-2013

 

From my understanding, the Jeep I now own has taken it to Sand Lake many times by the original owner. However, I don't have the wide Mickey Thompson Baja tires on it any more. At the time my Jeep was a daily driver and winter vehicle. Couldn't use the wide tires on the road as it handled terribly. Good photos though.

 

Is anybody going to the Jeepin' for a Cure event at Rocks and Valleys on 5/17. I can't find any info on it, the only thing I see is that on Facebook they say that there's over 90 pre-registered jeeps. Going to try and make it either way, but I'd like a little more info.
