Welcome to The Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan!

The Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan is a non-profit organization committed to the conservation of our wild lands while promoting the sport of off-road motorcycling. During the riding season, organized “trail tours” are held at various locations throughout the trail system in the northern part of the state. In addition, The Cycle Conservation Club of Michigan sponsors the “Ultimate Trail Ride” – the Michael R. Burlingham Memorial Six Days of Michigan. Six full days of off-road riding – there’s nothing else like it anywhere in the world!

USFS Approves Spring Ringer Trail Tour!

The Map App - Help for the Directionally Challenged

At one time or another, we've all found ourselves without a trail map, often when we've needed one most. That's exactly what led CCC member Carrie Mosher to author Michigan ORV Trails, the first smartphone app for Android users that puts the entire database of ORV trail maps in the palm of your hand.

News & Announcements

05-09-12 - Section of Denton Creek Trail Temporarily Closed

The Department of Natural Resources announced that a portion of the Denton Creek Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Trail, located in Roscommon County south of Houghton Lake, will be temporarily closed due to a bridge replacement project. Bridge construction is expected to begin May 11, 2012, and should be completed by June 29, 2012.

3-17-12 - Section of Little Manistee Trail Closed for Bridge Replacement

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officials announced that a three-mile section of the Little Manistee Trail and Route, located in Lake County, will be temporarily closed due to the replacement of two recreational bridges. The East and West Twin Creek Bridges are located on the northeast portion of the trail system. After assessment by a private engineering firm, it was determined that both bridges were in need of replacement due to aging bridge components that compromise the safety of users. Bridge construction is expected to begin mid-April and be completed by June 30, 2012. A reroute, using county roads to maintain trail connectivity, will be in place during the construction period. The Little Manistee ORV route and single track will be closed from north Twin Creek Road south to 4 Mile Road. The trail closure location and temporary reroute will be identified on the DNR Internet trail map. Trail maps and other ORV riding information can be found on the DNR’s website at www.michigan.gov/dnr.
