We ride western UP frequently in the winter but have never been up there in the summer/fall. If I wanted to visit lake of the clouds overlook on UTV, is this possible? Obviously road riding? From what I can see on the maps the routes looks spotty. And even ride apps show gaps in trails.

So if someone wanted to ride from lets say Rockland to Lake of the Coulds overlook via UTV is this even possible?

Any added input on UTV trails in the area would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Xray

Not a legal way to do it. Does not mean people do not do it, I see 'em break the law all the time.

That I do not know, line was long and we were on our way out when I saw them. Better question would be did the person at guard shack give them a ticket when they got to guard shack?

107 is no longer a state highway, its county and ORV is not permitted within the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness Park. The park boundary is just out of Silver City so technically the access road is within the Wilderness State Park and I doubt they want ORV's using it. Now there maybe not be enough law enforcement to catch riders but if the County Sheriff or DNR Officer comes upon riders he might take enforcement action. People working in the park are mostly seasonal and may not know about whats legal and not legal orv use.

On June 4, 2008, a transfer agreement was reached transferring the jurisdiction of M-107 from MDOT to the Ontonagon County Road Commission. This transfer marked the end of the M-107 designation as the roadway became a county primary road. The OCRC has named it the "107th Engineers Memorial Highway".[

Seasonal Road Updates
The roads are closed December 1 through late spring. County Road 107 is closed just past the Whitetail parking area and South Boundary Road is closed just past the visitor center and park headquarters. Both of these roads are designated snowmobile trails during snowmobile season and will remain closed until deemed safe to travel by the Ontonagon County Road Commission.

You can get from Marenisco to Wakefield now, but NO you cannot use south boundary rd or go to Lake in the Clouds. The Porcupine Mountains are a restricted Wilderness area and no UTV/ATV or SxS allowed
