When you’re ready to trade the pavement for dirt, sand and forest tracks — the area around St. Ignace becomes a gateway to off-road adventures. With access to state-designated ORV/ATV routes, former rail-bed corridors and thousands of acres of public land, you can load up your UTV, quad or side-by-side and explore deep into the Upper Peninsula’s wild side. Use St. Ignace as your base: lodging, fuel, food and then trailhead access from town.
