“Three Free” weekend – two full days when residents and visitors can fish, ride Michigan’s off-road trails or visit state parks and state-managed boating access sites at no cost – is set for Saturday, June 11, and Sunday, June 12.

 

Free Fishing ►

Grab your gear and cast a line! Twice a year, you can enjoy two days of fishing without a license. All other regulations still apply.

 

Free ORV ►

Ride more than 4,000 miles of state-designated ORV routes, trails and scramble areas. No ORV license or trail permit required.

Free Passport ►

The Recreation Passport requirement is waived, so you can build state parks and boating access sites into your itinerary.

Avoid giving invasive species a ride by cleaning mud, seeds and debris from vehicles, gear and clothing. Clean, Drain, Dry watercraft and trailers. Find out how you can take action at Michigan.gov/Invasives.
