The new Western and parts of the Central UP ORV Trail Maps are AT THE PRINTERS as I am writing this. We hope to have them ready for sale and distribution at our April 2nd Mi-TRALE General Membership Meeting. That meeting will be at the Konteka in White Pine, starting at 7:00 pm ET.
Just so everyone knows, when we put out our first ORV Trail Map of the Western UP, we sold 5000 maps within a few months. This goes to show that this map has ALL of the trails that are signed by Mi-TRALE, along with some surrounding MDNR Designated ORV Routes. With the NEW trails that Mi-TRALE will be opening this spring, this map is going to be even more popular. My advice is to either come to the meeting, or send someone from the business you solicit to the meeting to get the maps.
As far as Side by Sides, ALL of the HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of miles of Mi-TRALE ORV Trails are open to Side by Sides. We do have some portions of some trails that are on private land, where the private landowner will not allow for Off Road Motorcycles and Jeeps/4WD. That was/is up to the Private Landowner.
Also, be aware that you will find some ORV Trail Maps that DO NOT have all the ORV Trails that Mi-TRALE developed and maintained. Those maps either just have that club's trails or the MDNR Designated ORV Trails.
For more information, you can go to the Mi-TRALE website;

Don't forget, Mi-TRALE has developed and maintained ORV Trails in 5 Western UP Counties, and the majority of those trails are NOT funded by anything other then Membership Dues. This years Membership Campaign starts on April 1st.
