Elk Twp ORV

Just a note that Elk Twp remains closed to ORV traffic except for Brooks Rd from 9 mile to 12 mile because Eden Twp opened this road and traffic must be allowed to travel on both sides.

Violations of the ORV ordinance could cost users a minimum of $250 in direct fines and could be more with court costs.

In other townships, every ORV must have a trail permit, even if riders don't plan to ride the trails.

According to the Lake County Star, May 21st issue, roughly half of Lake County remains closed to ORV riders, including Sweetwater, Cherry Valley, Yates, Pleasant Plains, Lake, Webber and Elk. Sauble twp has two roads open to ORV riders. US 10 and M-37 are closed to ORV use and indeed were never under discussion for ORV travel. All US Forest Service and DNR tracks and trails remain closed to ORV traffic.

If you or someone you know plans to ride ORVs in Lake County, make sure the responsible driver obtains a map for ORV usage. Happy Trails!
