GOLDEN TOWNSHIP — Following another successful off-road vehicle riding season and the first official shoreline horseback riding season this past November, the Department of Natural Resources is expanding outdoor recreation at Silver Lake State Park.

An all-new fat-tire biking season will take place at Silver Lake ORV Area Dec. 15 through March 15. Riders will enjoy 450 acres of open sand dunes; elevation changes of 80-100 feet; and access to Lake Michigan and sunsets over the lake from the top of the dunes.

Learn more about Silver Lake’s fat-tire biking season, including riding rules and tips, the recreation passport requirement and parking information, at Michigan.gov/SilverLake.
