DNR ORV Scramble Areas

The DNR ORV Scramble Areas dataset represents designated Off‑Road Vehicle (ORV) scramble areas managed by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR). These areas are open‑use riding locations where ORV enthusiasts may operate vehicles off designated trails in accordance with state regulations. The dataset supports ORV program management, public information, recreation planning, and land management activities. The DNR ORV Scramble Areas dataset contains mapped boundaries of Michigan's official ORV scramble areas. These areas are designated by the DNR to provide open riding opportunities for various ORV types, including ATVs, motorcycles, and other off‑road machines. The dataset includes spatial polygons representing each scramble area and may include attributes such as area name, permitted uses, management unit, and regulatory notes. This dataset is made available through the Michigan DNR’s ArcGIS Online environment for use in recreational planning applications, public maps, internal decision‑support tools, and mobile‑friendly maps for ORV users.
