Power up snowmobile season with your trail permit

If you haven't already, it's time to pull your sled out of storage, prep it for winter and purchase your 2020-21 snowmobile trail permit.

A snowmobile trail permit is needed for legal operation on Michigan's 6,000-plus miles of state-designated trails and thousands more miles of public roads and open land (where authorized). Designated trails are open Dec. 1 through March 31 with grooming occurring when there is adequate snow.

The snowmobile program is 100% funded with your trail permit dollars.

If you need to register your snowmobile for the first time, you may want to schedule your appointment with the Secretary of State ASAP.
