Get To Know Us!

Ogemaw County was the first county to allow ORV (Off Road Vehicle) riding on the shoulder of most county roads. Rose City is the host city that became the first city to allow the riding of ORV's within its city limits. Ogemaw County has all county and seasonal roads open to ORV's. The only roads not accessable to ORV's are State Roads, Ex: M-33, M-55 and I-75. Also two tracks and power lines are OFF LIMITS. Two tracks are also known as "logging trails". Snowmobile trails are off limits unless posted as a mixed traffic trail. Remember that the law states you must always wear a helmet. Only one (1) rider is allowed on a ORV unless the ORV is a legal two-up. All motorcycle and ORV's must have a current ORV sticker. Our posted speed limit is 20mph. Michigan has just adopted into law that grants access to ORV's to ride on allowable county roads. Please always check with the township that you are traveling in before riding and make sure you understand all the rules and regulations so that you will have an ENJOYABLE vacation.
