Michigan DNR Working to Implement Water Trails Across the State

Michigan is the state of four seasons, and with those seasons, come plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. Known as the Great Lakes State, Michigan also has over 11,000 inland lakes, so it should come to no surprise that Michiganders like to spend a significant amount of time out on the water.

Michigan currently provides ample opportunities for hikers and bikers, off-road vehicles, snowmobilers, and equestrian riders. The Michigan DNR plays a large part in providing appropriate places for participants in each of these outdoor activities to enjoy their passions.

Currently, the DNR is working on implementing a policy to add water trails to the state’s trail program. With the wide range of inland lakes and streams, Michigan is a perfect fit.

He has been writing for OutdoorHub for nearly five years, but anybody he is close with will tell you he has been telling hunting stories for far longer. He uses his experiences outdoors to write about things he loves - bow hunting, fishing, upland hunting, shed hunting, turkey hunting, waterfowl hunting, dog training, shotguns, ATVs and the outdoor lifestyle he lives in his home state of Michigan. Outside of hunting/fishing, he also loves to cook - especially with wild game - play golf and go on hikes with his yellow lab, Stella.
