Michigan residents and out-of-state visitors can look forward to “free” weekends for fishing, off-road vehicle (ORV) riding, and snowmobiling each year, providing exciting opportunities to explore the state’s natural wonders and recreational activities.
The upcoming Free Fishing Weekends are scheduled for June 10th -11th, 2023, and February 2024. During these weekends, all fishing licenses will be waived, allowing individuals to enjoy the bountiful fishing opportunities in inland lakes and the five Great Lakes.
Additionally, free ORV weekends are scheduled for June 10th-11th, 2023, and August 19th-20th. Participants can ride on designated Department of Natural Resources (DNR) routes and trails without the need for an ORV license or trail permit.
A free snowmobiling weekend is set for February 2024. Snowmobilers can hit the trails without a snowmobile registration or trail permit, allowing for a hassle-free snowmobiling adventure. It is essential to note that all participants must still adhere to Michigan’s rules and regulations governing fishing, ORV riding, and snowmobiling.
