Evart Motorcycle Trail Re-Opens After Damaging Storm

Since I'm not an off-roader, I was unaware of this motorcycle-only trail in Evart, Mich., until I got this press release about the reopening. But I'm sure it's good news to a lot of you out there.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources announced last week that the southeast section of the Evart Motorcycle Trail, located in Osceola County, has reopened. The three-mile segment was closed in 2009 and has remained closed to allow for cleanup and timber regeneration following a wind storm. The trail remains “motorcycle only,” per a DNR director’s order.

Questions regarding the trail may be directed to Amanda Matelski, DNR trails analyst, at 231-775-9727, ext. 6044. Information regarding other ORV/ATV riding opportunities may be found on the DNR’s website at www.michigan.gov/orvtrails.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state’s natural and cultural resources for current and future generations. For more information, go to www.michigan.gov/dnr.
