Indian River Michigan lies in the center of The tip of the Mitt with direct access to 100's of miles of
ORV Trails, Sideby Side and Jeep Routes and Motorcycle Trails. Although the DNR only shows one 17 mile route we
have mapped in and developed 4 additional routes for all size off road vehicles. In our map section will find
a printable map of the routes with GPX files for your GPS for these 5 routes. We also have GPX files for route leading
to Atlanta, Millersburg, Black Mountain Recreation area and more. There are GPS routes from 17 miles to 140 miles.
Riding the area you will find all kinds of terrain. There are sandy areas, hard packed dirt, Hill climbs, water, mud holes,
and even a hilly scramble area. You will pass over rivers, past lakes, heavy wooded areas and wild meadows.
You also have easy access to fuel, restaurants, swim beaches, campgrounds, fishing and lodging facilities.
In need of parts and service, no problem. There are Can Am, Arctic Cat, and Polaris dealers in town and close by as well as
independent parts and accessories stores in the area.
