ORV / ATV VEHICLES

The Huron Trail in Iosco County is partially open to ORV’s. It heads west from Oscoda, with a southern stretch heading to Sand Lake. It can be accessed from US-23 or River Road in Oscoda. Both lead to Grass Lake Road, where the trailhead has parking space.

A shorter set of loops is also available off Bissonette Road, west of Oscoda. This trail partially follows the old state snowmobile trails, as well as offering separate trails around Indian Road and Copper Creek Area.
