Baldwin MI trip

Hi all. we went to Baldwin MI and rode for a couple of days. It’s about 5 hours from where I live. This is also the 1st time I’ve been to a place like this.

Trails were fun. The Little O Trail, I believe is 41 miles and quoted as being a 50 inch trail. It’s pretty tight between trees in some spots and as mental fatigue kick in in the last couple of sections, I managed to clip my rear fenders a couple of times. It was in turns around trees. I didn’t give it quite enough throttle to get the rear end kicked around. It was a fun trail overall and apparently, not too many people wanted to be on it, because we saw a total of about 8 other riders.

I happened to have a folding saw with me, did our civic duty and cleared a couple of small fallen trees off of the trail too.

We combined the Manistee trail (46 miles) and the Lincoln Hills trail (21 miles) on Saturday. These were easy to ride "all" ORV trails. There were some fun whooped out sections and we saw a lot more people and some pretty badass machines.

We stayed at Wolf Lake Lodge. It was a small room, but got the job done. Can’t complain for $60 a night. They have Yamaha Wolverines (the atv), Honda Recons, 2 up Polaris atvs, 2 up Can Am atv, and a Razr 570. They may have more available.

You have to buy the Michigan ORV permits ($36), then you can ride on a majority of the city/county roads and the trails.
There is a map available for $3 and an app too. By the way, cell service was great up there on AT&T.

Fun trip! I will definitely go again!
