Forest Roads & ORV Routes
• The area around Shingleton and neighboring Forest Roads (like routes mapped by the Michigan DNR) offers multiple ORV routes, including scenic rides through Hiawatha National Forest and surrounding woodlands. 
• These routes connect forest roads and public lands popular with ATV, side-by-side, and dirt-bike riders.
Additional Trail Riding Options
• Nearby trails and forest service roads provide varied terrain and experiences, from open forest roads to winding two-track trails through pine and hardwood forest. 
• Some trails intersect or connect loops that are great for planning half-day or full-day rides.
🛠️ Tips for ORV Riders
• Always ride on designated trails only and obey posted speed and safety signs.
• Michigan ORV licenses and permits are required for most public trails.
• Bring water, snacks, a basic repair kit, and a trail map (digital or paper).
