ARE YOU READY TO EXPLORE?

• Trails not normally available to the general public.
• The back country of Baraga County on your ATV/UTV.
• Arvon Township waterfalls.
• Mount Arvon – Michigan's highest natural point.

Three groups with an ABSOLUTE maximum of 25 MACHINES per group.

• Group A will depart at 8:30 am.

• Group C (easy going) will depart at 10:30 am. Less experienced drivers or those who seek a slower-paced ride should sign up for Group C.

Entry fees:

$40 per machine (includes driver)

$10 per passenger

For example, a single driver = $40, 2 people on same machine = $50, 3 people on same machine = $60, and 4 people on same machine = $70.

Ample parking will be accessible. Portable toilets will be provided at the parking lot and halfway location. Lunch will be available to purchase at the halfway location for those who pre-ordered pasties.

Participants should be ready for every flavor of UP weather and terrain, because the UP doesn’t do “predictable.” Expect mud. Expect rocks. Expect rain, snow, sunshine, wind, and possibly a confused mosquito wearing a tiny parka. It might be hot, it might be cold, and it might change its mind every 12 minutes. You may also want to hop off your machine to hike the short paths to the waterfalls. If you do, consider wearing proper footwear—flip‑flops are bold, but not that bold. We just want to remind participants to plan accordingly and dress practically.

Each participant will need to sign the liability waiver when arriving at the site. Contact the Chamber at (906) 353-8808 or baragachamberoffice@gmail.com if you would like more information.

No part of the registration fee will be attributed as payment for use of any part of the event that is on property enrolled in the Commercial Forest Program.

This event has been made possible due to special permissions given by The Nature Conservancy and Lyme Great Lakes Timberlands.
