INTRODUCING THE

2024 CADILLAC AREA ORV SCENIC RIDE

A family-friendly ORV/OHV scenic ride has been created through a collaboration between the Cadillac Area Visitors Bureau and many local partner organizations utilizing open Wexford County and US Forest Service roads.

This is not a “Route” or “Trail” as designated by the US Forest Service or the MDNR. It is simply a recommended ride to find great points of interest in the Cadillac Area and experience the beauty of the Manistee National Forest.

There are many more roads legally open to ORV use in the region, beyond the ones we recommend here. Pick up a copy of the US Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Map or visit the Wexford County Road Commission online for more information on roads open to ORV use.

We are currently working with our partners to establish turn-by-turn digital navigation through popular ride community apps like; OnX Offroad, Polaris Ride Command, AllTrails, and more! Stay tuned to this page as we we will be posting these offerings soon.
