Twisted Trails Offroad Park: Michigan Forest Mud & Rock Trails for ATV and SxS Riders

The First Run

The Dirt: Why We Rip Here

• The ground here never lets you get comfortable. One minute you’re rolling through soft forest dirt, the next you’re dropping into mud, then bouncing over rocks or blasting across sand. Every machine gets tested, and you never settle into just one groove.
• After a good rain, everyone’s gunning for the mud lines. The ground here soaks it up and turns into deep, sticky bogs where throttle finesse beats raw power every time. Trucks and SxS crews can’t get enough of it.
• The hills here aren’t mountains, but they feel bigger when you’re weaving through tight trees and the ground goes from soft to packed in a heartbeat. You’ve got to pick your line or you’ll find yourself backing up for another shot.
• The rocks sneak up on you—not giant boulders, but enough scattered, jagged patches to make you slow down and pick your way through. This is where the crawlers and built rigs start showing off.
• Hit the back side and you’ll find sand pockets where you can finally open it up and let the machine run before diving back into the shade. It’s a quick breather before the next round of mud and rocks.
• Event weekends are a whole different animal. Live music, challenges, and themed rides turn the park into one big get-together, not just a bunch of trails.
• The park changes with the seasons. Winter soaks the mud deep, summer bakes the top layer dry, and the shady spots stay slick no matter what. Every visit feels a little different.

Basecamp: Facilities & Camping

• Camping here is simple and quiet—just you, your rig, and the woods. After a long day on the trails, you can kick back under the trees and let the forest keep things cool, even in July.
• RVs set up close to the main drag, right by the store and check-in, so it’s easy to get in and out. The setup keeps things moving without jamming up the trails.
• The staging area is always buzzing—unloading, last-minute gear checks, and groups peeling off for their own adventures. It’s where you meet up before heading out to see what the trails have in store.
• Showers and bathrooms are right by the main campground, so you get the basics without losing that rough-around-the-edges feel.
• Night riding flips the script. During events, the stage lights and campground glow make the whole place feel alive after dark.
• On big weekends, food trucks and vendors roll in, turning the park into a mini festival—but it still feels like Michigan through and through.

The Damage

• Event weekends mean different pricing—concerts, challenges, and holiday rides all come with their own rates. On regular days, it’s the usual park fee.
• Rates change with machine type and camping setup, so riders with RVs, multiple machines, or extended stays should check the Book Now options or call the office.
• Fees change with the season. Winter is by appointment only, but summer is wide open.

Trail Rules & Safety

• Alcohol is not allowed in camp, as the off‑road area is strictly dry and violations result in immediate removal.
• Helmets are required for ATVs, dirt bikes, and any vehicle without a roll cage, and seat belts must be worn in all enclosed machines.
• Flags must be mounted at the front of most vehicles and must reach the 10‑foot bar at the park entrance to meet height requirements.
• Glass is allowed only on the campsite, and bringing it into the riding area triggers a fine or removal.
• Pets must stay leashed and supervised, and aggressive animals aren’t allowed anywhere on the property.
• Fires stay in approved rings, and the off‑road area is a strict no‑fire zone.
• Firearms and chainsaws are prohibited, and cutting or moving trees results in replacement fees.
• Trail use stays on designated routes, with all trails running two‑way and requiring caution around equipment, changing terrain, and blind rises.
• Drivers must meet age requirements, with licensed adults or ORV‑certified youth, depending on machine type.
