Title: New Offroad Park Opening in Michigan
Post by: calvynandhobbs on February 11, 2009, 09:20:31 PM: I just saw this posted over on GLFWDA. There is a new offroad park opening about 2 hours from my house there.

I have no idea. I'm going to wait until they open and hear what people think about it. They will have information on GLFWDA, GL4x4 and Michigan Jeepers, which I am a member of all 3. There will be some good information soon, but my guess is that this place is going to be small compared to a place like Rausch Creek, Badlands, etc. The good thing with a trip to Michigan is we could hit this new park, the Mounds offroad park and the Silver Lake Sand Dunes all in a 3 day weekend. There are lots of videos on Youtube of the Mounds and Silver Lake if you want to check them out.

Post by: calvynandhobbs on February 12, 2009, 12:42:55 AM: I know Silver Lake and the Mounds offer camping, but I don't know about the new offroad park. Because of where it's located I know there are some campgrounds nearby, but they're just not associated with the new park.

Here's a click of the Mounds Offroad park. This place is just a muddy mess.
