Recreation in the Western U.P.
Summer
ATV
/ ORV Trails
Many roads on the Ottawa are open to
visitors with no restrictions. Use on some lower standard
roads is regulated to protect the road investment or other
resources or to provide a desired recreational experience.
Hikers, skiers, and other non-motorized users may use most
roads at any time. ORV's and ATV's may use roads (with the
exception of main collector roads) unless there is a sign
prohibiting their use.
Hiking
The Western U.P. offers visitors hiking
opportunities unsurpassed in the Midwest. Enjoy a day or a
week or more in the Porcupine
Mountains State Park or the
Sylvania
Wilderness Area or on scenic land
throughout the Ottawa
National Forest.

adventures, you can enjoy a friendly campfire and a night
under the stars throughout the Western U.P.

Fishing in the Western U.P.is good clean
fun! Our endless variety of lakes and rivers will provide
