What is Michigan’s “FREE” Weekend?

Once a year, the state of Michigan invites residents and visitors to enjoy three amazing outdoor activities—completely free of charge:

1. Free Fishing
No license required! For two days only, anyone can fish on Michigan’s lakes, rivers, and streams. Whether you're an experienced angler or just starting out, it’s the perfect opportunity to cast a line and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the water.

2. Free ORV Riding
Get your adrenaline pumping with off-road adventures on Michigan’s ORV trails and scramble areas—no permit necessary. With hundreds of miles of designated trails, it’s an ideal way to see the wild side of the Upper Peninsula.

3. Free State Park Entry
Explore any of Michigan’s state parks, boating access sites, and public lands without needing a Recreation Passport. Pack a picnic, go for a hike, or simply take in the views—there’s something for everyone.
