Fishing ORV and boating in state parks

Three Free Weekend: fishing, off-road riding, state park entry

On two back-to-back days, June 10-11, residents and out-of-state visitors can grab a fishing rod, ride Michigan’s off-road trails and/or pay a visit to state parks during "Three Free" Weekend. 

Free Fishing ►

Fish for all in-season species, all weekend long, without a license. All other fishing regulations apply. To get more details or find a local event, visit Michigan.gov/FreeFishing.

Free ORV ►

Legally ride 4,000 miles of state-designated routes and trails and the state's six scramble areas without purchasing an ORV license or trail permit. Visit Michigan.gov/ORVinfo for the latest ORV trail, safety and closure information.

Free Passport ►

Make state parks the background for your fishing trip. Throughout the weekend, state parks and boating access sites will waive the Recreation Passport entry fee that's normally required for vehicle entry.
