Cadillac’s 120 miles of off-road trails to be branded as year-round ORV destination

Thanks to a $48,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture and $52,000 in fundraising, the Cadillac Area Visitors Bureau plans to brand Wexford County as a premier year-round ORV destination. “However, our ORV trails not only are used year-round, they fill an important recreation need in the spring and fall that don’t rely on perfect weather conditions. The ORV trails are separate from and in addition to the region’s 200 miles of groomed snowmobile trails. The ORV initiative will provide wayfinding, mapping, and marketing of existing ORV trails with attracting ORV users to the region and encouraging responsible recreation practices in mind. The Cadillac Area ORV Initiative is divided into four phases including research, development and planning, education and asset development, wayfinding development and installation, launch and promotion.
