3,848 trails · 8,214 miles in 80 counties · 4,970 miles open to Class 1 · 3,388 miles of national forest trail · Rules verified October 14, 2026
Quick Answer: In Michigan, a Class 1 e-bike may ride state trails open to bikes and paved or rail trails unless the manager bans it. Class 3 is barred from every state trail, Class 2 needs a disability permit, national forests allow e-bikes only on motorized routes, and local governments add their own rules. Verified October 14, 2026.
The Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, the park's one bicycle trail and one the Park Service opens to e-bikes, in a scene generated with Playcut from a National Park Service photograph of the trail.

Every line is a trail mapped for bicycles by the Michigan DNR, the Forest Service, the Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the federal protected-lands database or OpenStreetMap, colored by the e-bike rule its manager publishes. The numbers mark the 10 regions mapped below, drawn from the state's Prosperity Regions.
Michigan's vehicle code gives your e-bike a default on trails and lets whoever runs the trail change it.
MCL 257.662a(8) reads: "An individual may operate a class 1 electric bicycle on a linear trail that has an asphalt, crushed limestone, or similar surface, or a rail trail."
The same subsection lets a local authority or agency of this state "having jurisdiction over a trail described in this subsection" regulate or prohibit it, and Class 2 and 3 ride such a trail only "if authorized" by that authority. On a nonmotorized trail with a natural surface, subsection (10) turns the default around: an individual "shall not operate an electric bicycle" there unless the authority allows it, so on dirt you start from no.
441 managers, from the Michigan DNR and three national forests to cities, townships, counties and trail groups, each hold part of that authority. Every trail below carries its manager's name and the rule that manager publishes, quoted from the manager's own text, so you can check a ride trail by trail.
If you want the rest of the state's e-bike law, from age limits to local ordinances, read Michigan e-bike laws, checked city by city. To compare Michigan's trail rules with those of the other mapped states, open bike trails by state. To buy or service a bike here, the Michigan e-bike shop directory lists verified stores across the state.

You will find the same trail-by-trail map for Colorado bike trails, Washington State bike trails, Texas bike trails, Florida bike trails, Utah bike trails, Wisconsin bike trails and New York bike trails, and our national guide to e-bike trails near you shows how to find out who manages a trail anywhere in the US.
Takeaway
Who manages the trail decides more than the class on your label. Class 1 rides 4,970 mapped miles and Class 3 rides 2,476, nearly all of them forest routes open to motor vehicles: on 2,494 miles of state, local and park trail a Class 1 may ride and a Class 3 may not.
National forests hold 41% of the mapped miles, and the Forest Service counts your e-bike as a motor vehicle: on 872 miles of nonmotorized forest trail it may not ride at all. You can look up any trail, its manager and its rule in the downloadable register.

How to read the map
Find your trail's color, then read who manages it. Green takes all three classes, blue Class 1 and 2, amber Class 1 alone. Dashed red means a published rule keeps your e-bike off the trail, whatever its class.
Gray covers four cases: the rule is unsettled and both texts are printed, we could not read the manager's rule and show the state default, the land is private or a nonprofit's, or no record names a manager. The register says which applies to the trail you ride.
Michigan defines an electric bicycle as a two- or three-wheeled device with fully operable pedals and "an electric motor of not greater than 750 watts", in one of three classes. Check your label against this table:
| Class | How the motor helps | Assistance stops at |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Only while you pedal | 20 mph |
| Class 2 | Whether or not you pedal (throttle) | 20 mph |
| Class 3 | Only while you pedal | 28 mph |
You must be 14 or older to ride a Class 3, and anyone under 18 who rides one, as rider or passenger, must wear a helmet (MCL 257.662a(4)). The statute also requires a permanent label on every e-bike with its class, top assisted speed and motor wattage, so the label on your bike is the record a ranger or a deputy reads.
One phrase in the statute sets many colors on this map. The definition of "motor vehicle" in MCL 257.33 ends with the words "does not include an electric bicycle". A trail rule that bars "motor vehicles" leaves your e-bike alone, while one that bars "motorized vehicles" or a "motored device" without naming e-bikes leaves the question open, and those trails are gray with both texts printed.
Who decides on each trail
| Who manages the trail | Trails | Miles | What e-bikes may do |
|---|---|---|---|
| National forests: routes open to motor vehicles | 720 | 2,431 | Class 1, 2 and 3, on routes the motor vehicle use map opens |
| National forests: every other trail | 349 | 936 | Closed: the Forest Service treats an e-bike as a motor vehicle |
| National forests: trails whose Forest Service records disagree | 22 | 20 | Gray: the Forest Service's inventory and its e-bike columns point opposite ways; the printed motor vehicle use map decides |
| National lakeshores | 7 | 18 | Sleeping Bear's Heritage Trail takes all three classes; Pictured Rocks closes its trails |
| Wildlife refuges and other federal land | 26 | 66 | Unsettled until the refuge manager decides |
| Congressionally authorized trails on state and local land (the North Country Trail) | 49 | 199 | Closed: the state's e-bike subsections do not apply |
| State parks, recreation areas and state trails | 207 | 1,572 | Class 1 on trails open to bikes; Class 2 with a disability permit; Class 3 never |
| State forest pathways | 66 | 464 | Class 1 on bike pathways; High Country, Shingle Mill and Pickerel Lake closed |
| Other state land: game areas, and land with no named division | 245 | 216 | Closed on game and wildlife areas; gray where no division is named |
| Mackinac Island | 25 | 22 | Class 1, or a three-wheeled Class 2, by city permit, for a rider with a mobility disability |
| Metroparks and county park systems | 185 | 215 | Class 1 on the paved trails of every system and on Oakland's designated mountain bike singletrack; Class 2 only on the Metroparks' paved trails; other natural-surface trails closed or unsettled |
| Rail-trail commissions and trail authorities | 9 | 42 | Class 1 on every one; Class 2 outright on Macomb Orchard and Paint Creek; Class 3 on none outright, by approval on Polly Ann and for a mobility disability on Paint Creek |
| Cities, townships and other governments with a rule that reaches e-bikes | 253 | 213 | From open to closed: see each government below |
| Codes that bar 'motorized' vehicles without naming e-bikes | 220 | 181 | Unsettled: see each government below |
| Trails under state law alone (the manager's rules read, no e-bike rule) | 286 | 318 | Class 1 on improved-surface and rail trails; closed on nonmotorized natural-surface tread |
| Trails whose managers' rules could not be read | 603 | 624 | Gray: rule not read; state law's default is Class 1 on improved surface, closed on natural surface |
| Trails whose surface no record gives | 480 | 367 | Gray: the surface decides under state law, and no record gives it |
| Private land, nonprofit and tribal trails | 150 | 268 | The owner decides |
| Manager not on record | 7 | 41 | Not determined |
| All Michigan | 3,848 | 8,214 | Map above; every trail by region below |
A trail whose stretches fall under two rules sits in each row with the miles that lie there, so if you find a trail twice, that is why: 59 trails appear in more than one row, and the rows still add up to the state.
Takeaway
Federal land holds 42% of the mapped miles and the state 31%. Local governments hold 23%, and one DNR order, Order 5.27, sets the color of 1,572 mapped miles of state park, recreation area and state trail.
State parks, recreation areas and state trails: Class 1 where bikes ride
The DNR lets a Class 1 e-bike ride any trail on its parks and recreation lands that is open to bicycles. Order 5.27 reads: "A person may operate a class-1 electric bicycle on a trail open to bicycle use on any parks and recreation division administered lands, except for congressionally authorized trails, such as the North Country Trail."
That covers the state's linear trails, from the Kal-Haven to the White Pine, and its state park and recreation area trails, so you may ride a Class 1 there without a permit.
The DNR's own e-bike page puts it plainly: Class 1 e-bikes are allowed "on all state park, recreation area and state forest trails/pathways that permit traditional bicycles". Class 2 is allowed in the same places only for a rider with a DNR-issued permit, at no cost, for a mobility disability, and "Class 3 e-bikes are not allowed on any state-managed trail."
Roads are different: the same page says you can ride Class 1, 2 and 3 on "all roads where a non-electric bicycle can be ridden", which includes the gravel and dirt roads inside state forests.
The order is young. It was issued on August 8, 2024, and its last subsection says it "shall be reviewed after a period of one year", to be rescinded if "negative impacts shall be evidenced" and left in effect if none are. The DNR page still carried it on October 14, 2026, so check the page before a long ride: a rescinded order would change your answer.
State forest pathways: Class 1, with three exceptions
Order 4.1b applies the same rule to the pathways open to bicycles in state forests, with the High Country, Shingle Mill and Pickerel Lake Pathways left out. Those three, in Pigeon River Country State Forest, are closed to your e-bike, with 89 mapped miles between them.
The DNR also keeps your e-bike off state game and wildlife areas, and off the North Country Trail and any other congressionally authorized trail. The vehicle code carves out those trails itself: MCL 257.662a(13) says subsections (6) to (10) "do not apply to the use of electric bicycles on a congressionally authorized public trail system".
State land the DNR does not name
On 214 mapped miles a record places the trail on state land and no record names the division that runs it. The same Class 1 rule governs a trail on parks and recreation or forest land, and the game areas are closed, so those trails stay gray until a manager's name settles which. The register lists every one, so you can look up the trail you plan to ride.
National forests: e-bikes ride motorized routes
The Forest Service treats your e-bike as a motor vehicle, so it rides the routes a forest's motor vehicle use map opens and nothing else. The Forest Service's national page says "Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes are allowed on motorized trails and roads on national forests and grasslands." Off those routes, 36 CFR 261.13 makes it a violation "to possess or operate a motor vehicle" other than as the map designates.
The Ottawa National Forest in the western Upper Peninsula holds 2,103 mapped miles, the largest total of any manager in the state, and most of its routes are open to motor vehicles, which is why your e-bike may ride them. The Huron-Manistee National Forest holds 835 and the Hiawatha 405.
A forest's hiking, mountain bike and horse trails are a different matter. The Hiawatha National Forest's biking page says "non-motorized trails are not open to eBikes" and points riders to "over 2000 miles of Hiawatha roads and trails open to motorized use". Check the forest's printed map before you ride a route the register shows as green: the map also prints a season for each route.
National parks, lakeshores and wildlife refuges
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore opens e-bikes wherever it opens bicycles, and the Heritage Trail is its one bicycle trail. The Park Service's page says "E-bikes are allowed in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore where traditional bicycles are allowed. E-bikes are prohibited where traditional bicycles are prohibited." The same page adds that, except where motor vehicles are allowed, "using the electric motor to move an e-bike without pedaling is prohibited", so a Class 2 rider pedals on the trail.
The agency prints its length three ways: about 20 miles on one page, about 22 on another and approximately 27 in the park's regulation.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore says "Bicycles, including mountain bikes, are not permitted on trails" within the park, and its bicycling page adds that e-bikes are prohibited where bicycles are: the park's roads are the only place you can ride.
On a national wildlife refuge, your e-bike rides the roads and trails where bicycles ride only when the refuge manager has determined that e-bike use is a compatible use (50 CFR 27.31(m)). The Seney and Shiawassee refuge pages allow bicycles on named routes and say nothing of e-bikes, so those 65 mapped miles are gray and you should ask the refuge manager before you ride.
Mackinac Island
Mackinac Island is the one place where state law blocks the default. MCL 257.662a(7) bars e-bikes within a city that prohibits nonemergency motor vehicles, and within Mackinac Island State Park, unless the city or the Mackinac Island State Park Commission allows them.
The Commission's E-Bikes page says "If your e-bike has a throttle to engage the motor, that e-bike is not allowed" in the city or the park. A rider who gives credible assurance of a mobility disability can obtain a city permit for a Class I e-bike or a Class II e-tricycle, and the park honors it. The register carries the island's 22 mapped miles as Class 1 by permit.
County, city and township rules
A county, city, township or trail commission can write its own e-bike rule, and state law makes it hold a public hearing first. MCL 257.662a(12) says an entity that wants to "prohibit, authorize, or regulate the use of electric bicycles within its jurisdiction" shall "hold a public hearing on the matter". The table lists every government whose rule reaches a mapped trail: 74 governments, 766 miles, so you can find the one that governs your ride.

The rules fall into four kinds. Some governments write the class into the rule, some defer to state law, some close a trail to every e-bike, and many bar "motorized" vehicles without saying whether an e-bike is one. Find your government in the table above, then read the group it falls into below.
Metroparks, county parks and rail-trail commissions
Class 1 rides the paved trails of the large metro and county park systems, and Class 2 is the line most of them draw. The Huron-Clinton Metroparks write in rule 31 that "Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are allowed on paved hike-bike trails within the Metroparks", at 10 mph, and Class 1 may ride the Authority's designated mountain bike trails. Its nature and foot trails are walking trails, where "Bicycles (including e-bikes)" are prohibited.
Kent County Parks sends Class 1 anywhere a bicycle goes and says Class 2 and 3 "are not permitted on trails". Oakland County Parks allows only Class 1 on its paved and crushed-limestone trails and on its designated mountain bike single track. Ottawa County Parks says Class 1 only, on paved bike trails only.
Rail-trail commissions set their own lines. The Macomb Orchard Trail Commission allows Class 1 and 2 and keeps Class 3 off. The Paint Creek Trailways Commission does the same, with a Class 3 exception for riders with a mobility disability. The Polly Ann Trail allows Class 1 and asks Class 2 and 3 riders for the Trail Manager's approval, and the Michigan Air Line Trail allows Class 1 only.
Wayne County's park rules date from 2011 and name no e-bike, so the statute's default governs the paved paths you ride, while mountain biking is allowed only in designated areas and the natural-surface trails stay closed to e-bikes. The Washtenaw County Parks commission's Border-to-Border page says e-bikes are allowed "in accordance with local and state laws" and adds: "Typically this means that Class-1 e-bikes are allowed."
Takeaway
Every park system and trail commission we read opens its paved trails to Class 1. Class 2 rides outright only on the Metroparks' paved trails, Macomb Orchard and Paint Creek, and Class 3 only by approval or for a mobility disability, so the class on your label decides the rest of your ride.
Cities and townships that wrote an e-bike rule
Michigan cities and townships have split three ways on Class 3. Marquette, Monroe, Muskegon, South Lyon, Grandville and Park Township in Ottawa County allow all three classes on a path or trail. Greenville, Wyoming, Shelby Township, Harrison Township, Spring Lake and Grosse Ile Township allow Class 1 and 2 and do not open the trail to Class 3.
Clio, Petoskey and Canton Township let a pedal-assist Class 1 ride, with Clio barring Class 2 and 3, Petoskey barring throttle e-bikes and Canton deferring to state law for the rest. In town, the class on your label is the first thing to check.
| What the rule does | Governments | Mapped miles |
|---|---|---|
| Opens a trail to Class 1, 2 and 3 | 6 | 29 |
| Opens a trail to Class 1 and 2 | 11 | 93 |
| Opens a trail to Class 1 only | 15 | 226 |
| Closes a trail to e-bikes | 11 | 75 |
| Leaves the question unsettled | 44 | 228 |
A government that holds rules of more than one kind appears in each row it holds, so the rows add up to more than the 74 governments in the table.
South Lyon's Sec. 62-63 makes it "lawful to operate a class 1, class 2 or class 3 electric bicycle on a linear trail that has an asphalt, crushed limestone, or similar surface", with a 15 mph limit. Muskegon's Chapter 92 lets electric bikes ride "local roads, public parks, and the bike path" and keeps them off "any sidewalk".
Grandville's Ordinance 323 lets you ride "multi-use pathways, and other locations where bicycles are permitted", from August 25, 2026.
Greenville's Ordinance 24-02 exempts Class 1 and 2 from its ban on motor vehicles on designated nonmotorized trails, and Wyoming's code counts Class 1 and 2 as micromobility devices and leaves Class 3 out.
Shelby Township's Ordinance 301 of January 21, 2025 sorts its trails by surface and class in a table: paved trails take Class 1 and 2, natural-surface trails take Class 1 only. Harrison Township's Ordinance 398 prohibits "the Class 3 Electric Bicycle" anywhere in the township.
Marquette's Ordinance 26-05 lets a "mobility device", a term it defines to include an electric bicycle as MCL 257.13e defines it, use the city's designated multi-use paths at a speed "reasonable and prudent under the conditions", and keeps mobility devices off the sidewalks of three named streets. On a Marquette path your Class 1, 2 or 3 may ride; on those three streets' sidewalks it may not.
The copy of the ordinance on file leaves its adoption date blank; the City Commission's minutes of June 16, 2026 record the motion to adopt it passing unanimously.
Takeaway
Class 3 is the class most of these rules leave out: 6 governments admit it on a trail, and 11 and 15 stop at Class 2 or Class 1, so read the row for your own class before you ride.
Petoskey's 2013 ordinance allows a "pedelec electric bicycle" and prohibits throttle e-bikes. Canton Township's code says "E-bikes shall be permitted on trails in accordance with Public Acts."
Monroe's Ordinance 26-006 lets e-bikes of every class use its trailways unless signs prohibit it, at 10 mph where no limit is posted, and its Munson Park trails are closed to them. Grosse Ile Township's Ordinance 26-02 lets Class 1 and 2 ride its shared-use paths unless posted and bars Class 3 unless the township signs it. Clio's Ordinance 537 allows Class 1 on its bike path and prohibits Class 2 and 3.
On this map, 11 governments hold a rule that closes some of their trails to e-bikes, 75 mapped miles between them. Flushing's Ordinance 2018-03 says "No person shall operate class 1, 2 and/or 3 electric bicycles on any linear trail", and Byron Township's Ordinance 763 bars e-bikes and other motorized vehicles from its sidewalks and pathways while traditional bicycles stay.
Most of the others close natural-surface trails: Wayne County's, Ottawa County's, Grand Rapids', Ypsilanti Township's, Forest Home Township's Glacial Hills Trails and Monroe's Munson Park. Commerce Township bars motor-operated bicycles from township land, and Holland Township lets an e-bike use its paths only when the motor's assistance is off.
Detroit's code bars every bicycle from a park's foot walks and pedestrian trails outside the areas its Recreation Department designates, which leaves its natural-surface park trails closed and its paved greenways to the department's designations.
What changed in 2025 and 2026
In 2025 and 2026, 11 governments adopted or amended an e-bike rule that reaches a mapped trail. The table gives each date and what the rule does.
| Government | Date | Rule | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming | January 21, 2025 | Ordinance 1-25 | Amended its rule against operating a vehicle without the owner's consent; the section now names e-bikes |
| Shelby Township | January 21, 2025 | Ordinance 301 | Sorts its trails by surface and class: Class 1 and 2 on paved trails, Class 1 only on natural surface |
| Clio | November 17, 2025 | Ordinance 537 | Allows Class 1 on its bike path and prohibits Class 2 and 3 |
| South Lyon | February 9, 2026 | Ordinance 02-26 | Makes it lawful to operate a Class 1, 2 or 3 on a linear trail, with a 15 mph limit |
| Clinton Township | March 16, 2026 | Ordinance 504 | The police state helmets under 18, a 10 mph limit and a duty to yield with an audible warning; the text was not available to read, so those trails are gray |
| Monroe | May 18, 2026 | Ordinance 26-006 | Lets every class use its trailways unless signs prohibit it and closes the Munson Park trails (council minutes) |
| Grosse Ile Township | June 8, 2026 | Ordinance 26-02 | Class 1 and 2 on shared-use paths; Class 3 barred unless the township signs it |
| Byron Township | June 8, 2026 | Ordinance 763 | Bars e-bikes and other motorized vehicles from its sidewalks and pathways |
| Marquette | June 16, 2026 | Ordinance 26-05 | All three classes on designated multi-use paths (minutes) |
| Grandville | August 25, 2026 | Ordinance 323 | Takes effect: all three classes on multi-use pathways and where bicycles are permitted |
| Kent County Parks | September 4, 2026 | Bulletin | Announces Class 1 only on its trails |
The Michigan DNR's orders opened state trails to Class 1 in August 2024. East Grand Rapids put the final reading of micromobility amendments to its bicycle and helmet ordinances on the City Commission's May 4, 2026 agenda; the draft sets conduct rules for a signed trail and bars riding on downtown sidewalks, and it sets no rule for a class. FOX 17 reported in August that the city had updated its bicycle ordinance in May.
Three bills of 2026 would change the vehicle code. House Bills 6165 and 6166, introduced on July 3, 2026 and referred to the House Transportation and Infrastructure committee, would define a "micromobility device" that "is not a bicycle, electric bicycle, or moped", and 6166 amends MCL 257.33 and 257.662a among other sections.
Senate Bill 1156, introduced on September 10, 2026 by Senator Jim Runestad and referred to the Senate Transportation and Infrastructure committee, would add rules for minors to MCL 257.662a: no e-bike on a public road, sidewalk or trail under 14, and for a rider older than 14 and under 18 only with a helmet and a parent's written permission or supervision.
It would also renumber the subsections this page cites. None of the three had passed as of October 14, 2026, and nothing on this map relies on them, so the colors you see follow the law as it stands.
Codes that bar "motorized" vehicles without naming e-bikes
On this map, 39 governments bar "motorized", "motor-driven", "power-driven" or "motored" vehicles or devices from their parks or pathways and never say whether an e-bike is one. State law leaves e-bikes out of its definition of "motor vehicle", but these codes use other words, and several define them broadly.
Meridian Township's parks chapter, for one, defines a motor vehicle as any "vehicle which is self-propelled by any means whatever", excluding "devices moved exclusively by human power", and bars it from park land and public footpaths (Sec. 54-39).
Battle Creek's code bars any "vehicle" from the pathways of its Linear Park and defines the word as "every device in, upon or by which any person or property is or may be transported or drawn on a road, except devices which are moved exclusively by human power", which on its words takes in every e-bike class.
The city's own page says "No motor vehicles permitted" and does not say whether an e-bike is one. Those trails are gray on the map, both texts are in the register, and the park office is the one to ask before you ride.
Named trails riders ask about
The trails riders search for sit under one of four answers: Class 1 on a state trail, Class 1 and 2 under a trail commission, closed by law, or the owner's call. The table lists 29 trails and places you may have typed into a search box, with the miles mapped and every rule that governs a stretch of each. Where a trail changes rule at a county line or a property line, each rule gets its own mileage.

The Iron Belle Trail has no single rule, because it is a route made of other trails. Its 201 mapped miles fall under 14 different rules from 35 managers: a DNR state trail takes Class 1, a county trail follows its own commission, and the stretches whose surface no record gives stay gray. Read the row for the stretch you ride, then the sign at the trailhead.
The North Country Trail reads closed to e-bikes on every mile mapped. It is a congressionally authorized trail: the vehicle code lifts it out of its trail defaults, the DNR's orders except it from Class 1 by name, and in a national forest it is a nonmotorized trail.
All 488 of its mapped miles read closed, 453 of them on Forest Service and DNR land under those rules and 35 on city, village and township land, where the color rests on the statute alone and a local rule could open a stretch.
The long state rail-trails take Class 1 under one order. The White Pine, Kal-Haven, Pere Marquette State Trail, Hart-Montague, Musketawa, North Central, North Eastern and North Western state trails are Parks and Recreation Division land, so Order 5.27 governs them: Class 1 rides, Class 2 needs a disability permit, and Class 3 stays off, so a Class 1 is the bike you want on all of them.
Two rail-trails that sound like state trails are not. The Fred Meijer Heartland Trail and the Pere Marquette Rail Trail between Midland and Clare are mapped as the owner's, because the DNR's rail-trail record lists each one's owner and administrator as private. Ask the trail's friends group or its owner before you ride either on a motor.
Takeaway
Read the manager before the trail name. The same Class 1 e-bike rides the White Pine Trail by state order, needs the owner's word on the Heartland Trail, and may not ride the North Country Trail at all.
Michigan bike trails, region by region
The ten regions below are the state's Prosperity Regions, drawn on the map above. Open your region's section for its map, its longest named trails and their rules, and a collapsed list of every mapped trail by rule. A trail that crosses a region line appears in each region with the miles that lie there.
Upper Peninsula

The Upper Peninsula is the Ottawa National Forest's motor routes and the DNR's rail-trails, with the North Country Trail closed through both. The region's 3,650 mapped miles lie in Alger, Baraga, Chippewa, Delta, Dickinson, Gogebic, Houghton, Iron, Keweenaw, Luce, Mackinac, Marquette, Menominee, Ontonagon and Schoolcraft. The Forest Service's motor routes carry all three classes, its nonmotorized trails are closed, and the Park Service closes Pictured Rocks' trails to bicycles.
The DNR's state trails, among them the Iron River to Marenisco route, the Bergland to Sidnaw Rail Trail and the Marquette to Munising Junction Trail, take Class 1. In the Keweenaw, the Copper Harbor Trails Club lets you ride Class 1 only on its network, and Marquette's multi-use paths take all three classes under Ordinance 26-05. Mackinac Island, covered above, sits in this region and has its own permit rule.

Traverse City and the Northwest

Around Traverse City the best-known ride is a National Park Service trail that takes all three classes. The region's 777 mapped miles lie in Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Manistee, Missaukee and Wexford, and the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail is the one most riders ask about. DNR state trails around it take Class 1: the North Western State Trail, the Betsie Valley Trail, the Vasa Pathway and the Cadillac Pathway.
Petoskey allows pedal-assist e-bikes on its designated nonmotorized trails. No record names a manager for the Leelanau Trail, so it stays gray. Traverse City's park code bars "any motorized device" without naming e-bikes, and the Little Traverse Conservancy opens its Tanton reserve to Class 1 only.

Alpena and the Northeast

The Northeast pairs two long state rail-trails with the Huron-Manistee National Forest's motor routes, and closes the High Country Pathway. The region's 1,035 mapped miles lie in Alcona, Alpena, Cheboygan, Crawford, Iosco, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle and Roscommon. The North Central and North Eastern State Trails take Class 1, and the Huron-Manistee's motorcycle, ORV and ATV routes take all three classes.
The High Country Pathway in Pigeon River Country State Forest is closed to e-bikes by name in the DNR's order, along with the Shingle Mill and Pickerel Lake pathways. The Huron-Manistee's hiking and horse trails, among them the Michigan Shore to Shore trail, are nonmotorized and closed to your e-bike.

Grand Rapids and West Michigan

West Michigan has the state's best-known paved rail-trails, and they are Class 1 trails by DNR order. The White Pine Trail, the Pere Marquette State Trail, the Hart-Montague Trail, the Musketawa Trail and the Fred Meijer Flat River and Grand River Valley Trails are among the region's 1,035 mapped miles in Allegan, Barry, Ionia, Kent, Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, Osceola and Ottawa.
Local rules fill in the rest. Kent County Parks allows Class 1 and bars Class 2 and 3 from its trails, Ottawa County Parks allows Class 1 on paved bike trails only, Muskegon allows all three classes on its roads, parks and bike path, and Greenville exempts Class 1 and 2 from its nonmotorized-trail ban. Walker's recreational trailways stay gray: its code bars any "vehicle propelled by a motor" without naming e-bikes.

Saginaw, Midland and the Bay

The Saginaw and Midland area is mostly gray on this map, because its trails sit with counties and townships whose rules could not be read. The region's 276 mapped miles lie in Arenac, Bay, Clare, Gladwin, Gratiot, Isabella, Midland and Saginaw, and 216 of them are gray.
The DNR's Pere Marquette State Trail and two state forest pathways, Green Pine Lake and Pine Haven, take Class 1. The Pere Marquette Rail Trail and the Mid Michigan Community College's trails belong to their owners, and several Iron Belle stretches have no surface record.
Kochville Township's code is read: it reserves its non-motorized pathways for pedestrians and "human-powered vehicles or devices", defined as moved "without any assistance by a motor or power unit", so those pathways are gray with both texts printed. The Saginaw Valley and Harger Line rail-trails sit with Saginaw County, whose rule was not found, so check with the county before you ride them.

Flint, the Thumb and Port Huron
![]()
The Thumb is a region of rail-trails whose managers are townships and counties, so most of it is gray. The region's 150 mapped miles lie in Genesee, Huron, Lapeer, Sanilac, Shiawassee, St. Clair and Tuscola. The Polly Ann State Rail Trail and the Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee State Trail take Class 1 by DNR order.
The Southern Links Trailway and the Wadhams to Avoca Trail sit with townships whose rules are unread or whose trails have no recorded surface, so confirm locally before you ride.
The Flint River Trail crosses several managers: the City of Flint's code lets a bicycle or other conveyance operate in a park only "in areas duly designated by the Department" of Parks and Recreation, so its park stretches are gray with both texts printed, and the county's stretches are unread or have no recorded surface. Flushing's ordinance closes its linear trails to every class.

Lansing and Mid-Michigan

In the Lansing area the state trails are Class 1 and the cities' own codes are the open question. The region's 142 mapped miles lie in Clinton, Eaton and Ingham. The Fred Meijer Clinton-Ionia-Shiawassee State Trail and the Sleepy Hollow State Park trails take Class 1 by DNR order.
Lansing's code bars "power-driven" vehicles from park footpaths without defining the term, which leaves the River Trail gray, and Delhi Township's code bars "any motor vehicle or other motorized conveyance or device" from its nonmotorized pathways. Meridian Township's parks chapter defines a motor vehicle as any vehicle self-propelled by any means except one moved exclusively by human power, which leaves its parks gray.

Kalamazoo and Southwest Michigan

The Southwest's anchor is the Kal-Haven Trail, a state trail that takes Class 1. The region's 219 mapped miles lie in Berrien, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Kalamazoo, St. Joseph and Van Buren, and the Kal-Haven shares them with the Van Buren Trail and the Fort Custer Recreation Area trails, all under Order 5.27.
Several city and township trails here are gray. The Battle Creek Linear Path is gray with both texts printed, because the city's code bars any "vehicle" not moved exclusively by human power from its Linear Park pathways and its page says no motor vehicles. Parts of the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail and the Indiana-Michigan River Valley Trail sit with townships whose rules were not found, and the North Country Trail through Battle Creek is closed.

Ann Arbor, Jackson and the Southeast

Southeast of Lansing the Lakelands Trail and the Border-to-Border Trail carry Class 1. The region's 324 mapped miles lie in Hillsdale, Jackson, Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe and Washtenaw. The Mike Levine Lakelands Trail State Park and the DNR's Pinckney, Waterloo and Island Lake trails take Class 1 by order, and the Washtenaw County Parks commission says Class 1 e-bikes are typically allowed on its Border-to-Border Trail.
The posted rules on the Falling Waters Trail say "Vehicles: Non-Motorized Usage only" and name no e-bike, so the trail is gray with both texts printed. Ypsilanti Township's natural-surface park trails are closed to your e-bike. Green Oak Township's code bars "all motorized vehicles" from its pathways without naming e-bikes, so those stay gray.

Detroit and the Metro Counties

Metro Detroit has more local rule-making than any other region: 25 governments and trail commissions have a rule that reaches a mapped trail, against 14 in West Michigan, the next most. The region's 605 mapped miles lie in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne. Stretches of the Iron Belle Trail on DNR land, the Highland Recreation Area's mountain bike trails and the Holly Recreation Area's loops take Class 1 by DNR order.
The Huron-Clinton Metroparks allow Class 1 and 2 on paved hike-bike trails, Wayne County Parks follows state law on its paved paths, and the Macomb Orchard Trail Commission allows Class 1 and 2. Shelby Township and Harrison Township allow Class 1 and 2 and bar Class 3; Detroit's code sends every bicycle to the paths its Recreation Department designates.
Sterling Heights' park code bars driving a "vehicle", defined as any wheeled and motor-powered conveyance, off paved park roads, which leaves its Clinton River Park trails gray with both texts printed. Clinton Township's Ordinance 504 of March 2026 sets a 10 mph limit and helmets for riders under 18 on township property and trails, in the township police's own summary.

Where riders get caught out
Eight situations catch riders out on Michigan trails, and each one changes the answer the map gives. Read the list before you plan a ride: a Class 3 on a state trail, a Class 2 with no permit, a forest trail that looks like a ride, a rule that changes at a property line, a natural-surface trail, a ban on "motorized" vehicles, the Iron Belle's patchwork and Mackinac Island.
- A Class 3 on a state trail. The DNR says "Class 3 e-bikes are not allowed on any state-managed trail", which takes in every state park, recreation area, state forest pathway and linear state trail on this map.
- A Class 2 with no permit. The DNR allows a Class 2 on trails open to Class 1 only if you hold a DNR-issued permit for a mobility disability, issued at no cost.
- A forest trail that looks like a ride. The Hiawatha National Forest's biking trails are "non-motorized", and the Forest Service closes nonmotorized trails to e-bikes. The routes open to motor vehicles are the ones to ride.
- A rule that changes at a property line. The Lakelands Trail, the Macomb Orchard Trail and the Iron Belle Trail each pass between managers with different rules; read every row a trail has in the register before you plan a long ride.
- A natural-surface trail. MCL 257.662a(10) bars an e-bike from a nonmotorized trail with a natural tread unless the manager allows it, so a natural-surface trail reads closed where we read its manager's rules and found no opening, and gray where we could not read them.
- A ban on "motorized" vehicles. A park code that bars "motorized" or "motor-driven" vehicles can reach an e-bike or not; 39 governments on this map leave the question open, and on those trails you should ask the manager first.
- The Iron Belle's patchwork. The route crosses land held by 35 managers on this map, and a color earned on one stretch is not earned on the next.
- Mackinac Island. State law blocks the default there: a rider with a mobility disability can get a city permit for a Class I e-bike or a three-wheeled Class II e-tricycle, and any other throttle e-bike is not allowed.
What a wrong turn can cost you
On state land the penalty is a civil fine of up to $500. The Land Use Orders of the Director say they are issued under section 504 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (the orders' preamble). A Class 3 on a state trail, or a Class 2 without the permit, breaks one of those orders.
MCL 324.504(14) provides: "A person who violates a rule promulgated under this section or an order issued under this section is responsible for a state civil infraction and may be ordered to pay a civil fine of not more than $500.00".
In a national forest, riding a route the motor vehicle use map does not open violates 36 CFR 261.13, and "the punishment for violation of any prohibition in or order issued under this part shall be imprisonment of not more than six months or a fine in accordance with the applicable provisions of 18 U.S.C. 3571 or both" (36 CFR 261.1b).
On a Park Service trail, a person convicted of violating the agency's regulations "shall be subject to the criminal penalties provided under 18 U.S.C. 1865" (36 CFR 1.3(a)).
Cities, townships and counties set the penalty for their own rules in their own codes. The register links each rule so you can read yours, and we did not collect the penalties.
Your Michigan trail checklist, in five steps
- Find the trail and who manages it. Look it up on its region's map or in the downloadable register; the manager makes the rule you must follow.
- Check your label. Michigan requires a permanent label on every e-bike showing its class, top assisted speed and motor wattage, and the class decides which colors you may ride.
- On state land, know your class. A Class 1 rides under the DNR's order, a Class 2 rider needs the DNR's free permit, and a Class 3 should plan on roads.
- On federal land, read the motor vehicle use map. A forest route open to motor vehicles, and the season it prints, is where your e-bike may go.
- Read the trailhead sign. Most rules on this map let the manager post closures, and a posted sign wins, so follow the sign you see, and yield to people on foot.
Sidewalks, roads and the paths beside them
State law lets your e-bike ride any part of a highway that is open to a bicycle. MCL 257.662a(6) says an individual "may operate an electric bicycle on any part of a highway that is open to a bicycle, including, but not limited to, a lane designated for the exclusive use of bicycles and the shoulder".
The DNR's page lets a Class 1, 2 or 3 ride "all roads where a non-electric bicycle can be ridden" on state land.
On a sidewalk, you have a bicycle rider's duties. MCL 257.662a(1) puts the two under the same requirements, and MCL 257.660c says a rider on a sidewalk "shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing a pedestrian", and "shall not operate a bicycle upon a sidewalk or a pedestrian crosswalk if that operation is prohibited by an official traffic control device".
Cities add their own rules. Muskegon bars electric bikes "on or alongside any sidewalk", Grandville keeps them off sidewalks in its Downtown Corridor and beside a street with a bike lane, and Spring Lake names Class I and Class II electric bicycles among the users its sidewalks and pedestrian pathways may carry.
Choosing an e-bike for Michigan trails
The class on the label decides how much of this map is yours: 4,970 mapped miles on a Class 1, 2,569 on a Class 2 and 2,476 on a Class 3. Each color here names the classes that may ride, so read a bike's class before you buy it.
| Your bike's class | Mapped miles it may ride | Against a Class 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1: assist while you pedal, to 20 mph | 4,970 | The most of any class |
| Class 2: throttle, to 20 mph | 2,569 | 2,401 fewer, 1,947 of them state trail |
| Class 3: assist while you pedal, to 28 mph | 2,476 | 2,494 fewer: 1,947 on state trail, 518 on local-government trails and 29 on nonprofit land |
A throttle costs you the state's trails. A Class 2 loses 2,401 miles that are open to Class 1, 1,947 of them state park, recreation area, rail-trail and state forest trail, because the DNR allows a Class 2 only with a disability permit. If those are your rides, buy a bike whose maker states Class 1 in writing.
A Class 3 rides roads and forest routes. It keeps 2,476 mapped miles, 99% of them on federal land, nearly all of them Forest Service routes open to motor vehicles, plus the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail. Only 29 miles of city and township trail take one. Buy a Class 3 for the road and the forest routes, and a Class 1 for the rail-trails and the parks.
For paved rail-trails such as the White Pine and Kal-Haven, a Class 1 commuter is your fit. On the DNR's mountain bike trails and in the park systems that open singletrack to Class 1, choose a Class 1 e-mountain bike, and for sand, snow and forest two-track, choose a fat-tire model.

The bottom line
Ride a Class 1 e-bike and most trails on state land in Michigan are yours, 1,947 of 2,515 mapped miles; ride the national forests on the routes open to motor vehicles; and treat a Class 3 as a road and forest-route bike unless a city says otherwise.
Shopping for one? Choose the class first: on this map a Class 1 reaches 2,494 more miles than a Class 3. Then compare e-mountain bikes for the dirt or commuter e-bikes for the paved paths, and the whole range ships to Michigan free.
Before every new trail, find its color here, and read the sign at the trailhead before you ride. If you find a trail missing from the map, or a rule that has changed, email its name and a link to the new rule to support@redtailebikes.com, and we will read its register row again.
Frequently asked questions
Are e-bikes allowed on trails in Michigan?
Yes, where the trail's manager allows them. State law lets a Class 1 e-bike ride a trail with an asphalt, crushed-limestone or similar surface, or a rail trail, unless the manager bans it, and lets a Class 2 or 3 ride one only if the manager authorizes it (MCL 257.662a(8) and (9)).
On a nonmotorized trail with a natural surface an e-bike is barred unless the manager opens it. Find your trail's color on the map above, then read its manager's rule.
Are e-bikes allowed in Michigan state parks?
Class 1 e-bikes are, on trails open to bicycles. The DNR's Order 5.27 lets a Class 1 ride a trail open to bicycle use on its parks and recreation lands, and Order 4.1b does the same on state forest pathways. A Class 2 needs a free DNR permit for a mobility disability, and you may not ride a Class 3 on any state-managed trail, according to the DNR.
Can you ride an e-bike on Mackinac Island?
Only a rider with a mobility disability and a city permit. MCL 257.662a(7) bars e-bikes within the City of Mackinac Island and Mackinac Island State Park unless the city or the park commission allows them. The commission's E-Bikes page says a rider who gives credible assurance of a mobility disability can obtain a city permit for a Class I e-bike or a Class II e-tricycle, and the park honors that permit.
Any other e-bike with a throttle is not allowed.
Are e-bikes allowed on the Kal-Haven Trail?
A Class 1 e-bike is allowed. The Kal-Haven Trail State Park is DNR Parks and Recreation land, so Order 5.27 lets a Class 1 ride it. For a Class 2 you need the DNR's permit, and a Class 3 is not allowed. The trail's mapped miles are in the table of named trails and in the Southwest region, both above.
Are e-bikes allowed on the White Pine Trail?
A Class 1 e-bike is allowed. The Fred Meijer White Pine Trail State Park is DNR Parks and Recreation land, and Order 5.27 lets a Class 1 ride a trail open to bicycle use there. For a Class 2 you need the DNR's permit for a mobility disability, and a Class 3 is not allowed. The White Pine is among the longest rows in the West Michigan region above.
Can you ride an e-bike on the Iron Belle Trail?
It depends on the stretch you ride. The Iron Belle Trail is a route over other trails, and on this map its 201 miles fall under 14 rules from 35 managers. A DNR state trail stretch takes Class 1, a county or township stretch follows its own rule, and a stretch with no surface record is gray. The register lists every stretch.
Can you ride an e-bike on the North Country Trail?
No: every mapped mile of it reads closed. The North Country Trail is a congressionally authorized trail, and MCL 257.662a(13) keeps the state's trail subsections from applying to it. The DNR excepts it from Class 1, and in a national forest it is a nonmotorized trail the Forest Service closes to e-bikes. The 35 miles on city, village and township land read closed on the statute alone, so a local rule could open a stretch there.
Are e-bikes allowed in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore?
Yes, on the Heritage Trail, the park's one bicycle trail. The Park Service allows e-bikes where it allows bicycles, and prohibits "using the electric motor to move an e-bike without pedaling" except where motor vehicles are allowed, so if you ride a Class 2 you pedal. Every other trail in the lakeshore is closed to bicycles, and so to e-bikes.
Are e-bikes allowed in Michigan national forests?
Only on the routes a forest's motor vehicle use map opens. The Forest Service allows Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes on motorized trails and roads, and its regulation prohibits motor vehicles elsewhere. The Ottawa, Huron-Manistee and Hiawatha forests' hiking, mountain bike and horse trails are nonmotorized, so they are closed to your e-bike.
Are Class 3 e-bikes allowed on Michigan trails?
Not on state trails, and elsewhere only where the manager says so. The DNR bars a Class 3 from every state-managed trail. The statute lets a Class 3 ride an improved-surface or rail trail only "if authorized" (MCL 257.662a(9)); South Lyon, Muskegon and Grandville authorize it, and the national forests' motor routes take it.
Should I buy a Class 1 or a Class 2 e-bike for Michigan trails?
Buy a Class 1 if you ride the state's trails. On this map a Class 1 may ride 4,970 mapped miles and a Class 2 2,569, because the DNR allows a Class 2 on its trails only with a disability permit. A Class 2 earns its throttle on city streets, forest routes and the few local trails that name it.
Can you ride an e-bike on a sidewalk in Michigan?
Often yes, with a bicycle rider's duties, unless a sign or an ordinance says no. MCL 257.660c requires a rider on a sidewalk to yield to pedestrians and signal before passing, and bars riding where an official traffic control device prohibits it. Cities add rules: Muskegon bars electric bikes from sidewalks, and Grandville keeps them off its Downtown Corridor sidewalks.
Are e-bikes allowed on Michigan mountain bike trails?
Class 1 e-bikes are, on the DNR's trails open to bikes and on the designated trails of several park systems. Oakland County Parks and the Huron-Clinton Metroparks open designated mountain bike trails to Class 1, and the Copper Harbor Trails Club allows Class 1 only. Natural-surface trails of Wayne County, Detroit and the national forests are closed.
Are e-bikes legal in Michigan?
Yes, and the law treats them as bicycles. MCL 257.662a(1) says an individual riding an electric bicycle "is subject to the same requirements under this act as an individual riding a bicycle", and the definition of "motor vehicle" does not include an electric bicycle. For ages, helmets, licensing and city rules, read Michigan e-bike laws, checked city by city.
How we verified this map
- Trails. 3,848 trails over 8,214 miles, from the Michigan DNR's trail layers (biking trails, rail-trails, the Iron Belle Trail and the Michigan Cross Country Cycle Trail), the Forest Service's trail and motor vehicle use map layers, the Park Service's public trails, the federal protected-lands database (USGS PAD-US) and OpenStreetMap's named bicycle ways. A line counts only where its own source opens it to bicycles, and ground two sources both map counts once.
- Managers. Each trail's manager comes from its own record first, then the DNR's administrator and owner fields, then the land manager PAD-US names, then the park it lies in, then the township or city it lies in; the register says which record named it for every trail.
- Rules. Every rule on the map is quoted from the manager's own text, read October 14, 2026, and every quote was checked against a saved copy. City, village and township codes were read for e-bike terms and for park and trail bans on motorized vehicles: 141 Municode codes and 23 American Legal codes section by section, and the chapters on parks, streets, traffic and offenses of the codes on eCode360, with a code-wide search for e-bike terms on eCode360. A person read every sentence found. 167 of 398 local governments' rules were read in full, covering 54.5% of local trail miles. The rules of 192 governments could not be read, and 39 codes were retrieved but could not settle an absence (Limitation 4).
- Demand. The trails and questions on this page come from 3,485 search strings riders typed, with questions from forum posts, the pages that rank and an AI prompt panel, each mapped in this page's demand ledger.
By Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN (Western University, 2014), Redtail eBikes. Every rule on this map was verified October 14, 2026. Found a rule that has changed since? Email the trail's name and a link to the new rule to support@redtailebikes.com, and we will read that trail's row in the register again.
Limitations
- Some local rules could not be read. 624 mapped miles have no rule we could find or open, most of them held by governments and trail groups, among them Novi, Hancock Township, Marquette Township, Cannon Township, MDOT and Benton Township. Their trails are gray, and the register shows the state default for each.
- Manager not on record. 41 mapped miles carry no record naming a manager; they are gray.
- Surface not recorded. State law gives one answer for a paved or rail trail and the opposite for a natural-surface one, and no record gives the surface of 367 mapped miles; they are gray.
- Codes not read. The rules of 192 governments could not be read (768 mapped miles), and 176 of them publish their codes on no platform this research could search. A further 39 governments' codes were retrieved but could not settle an absence, so their silence was not read as one: 33 were last updated more than 24 months before October 14, 2026, 5 offer no text to download or print no date, and Iron River's predates an e-bike ordinance the city posted later (item 11). The register's last column lists, for every manager whose rule could not be read, what was tried and what was not.
- Forest Service records. On 2,081 miles the Forest Service's own e-bike columns are empty, and the national statement that motorized trails take every class sets the color; the printed motor vehicle use map prints each route's class and season. Another 305 miles are motorized trails the Forest Service's inventory records and its motor vehicle use map data do not draw: they take their color from the inventory's own e-bike columns, and the 20 miles where those columns and the motorized flag disagree are gray.
- Records that disagree. The Park Service prints the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail's length as about 20, about 22 and approximately 27 miles. Kent County's park bulletin describes Class 3 as having a throttle, while MCL 257.13e defines it as pedal-assist only. Several websites still say the DNR bars e-bikes from state trails; the DNR's page and Order 5.27 of August 8, 2024 say otherwise, and this page follows them. Monroe's council minutes of May 18, 2026 head the item "Ordinance 26-006" and print "25-006" twice in its text; this page follows the heading, which the minutes of May 4 and the city's own page share.
- Seasons. Forest routes open to e-bikes only in the season the motor vehicle use map prints.
- Rules still moving. Order 5.27 says it "shall be reviewed after a period of one year", and the DNR page still carried it on October 14, 2026. House Bills 6165 and 6166 and Senate Bill 1156 of 2026 were pending. Grandville's Ordinance 323 took effect on August 25, 2026.
- Where the map rests on our reading. A route the motor vehicle use map does not designate is read closed; a Detroit park path no code designation opens to bicycles is read as the department's call; the Heartland Trail and the Pere Marquette Rail Trail are the owner's because the DNR's record lists a private owner; the 35 miles of the North Country Trail on city, village and township land read closed because MCL 257.662a(13) lifts the statute's trail defaults, although a local rule could open a stretch; and the park and pathway rules of Meridian Township, Battle Creek, Sterling Heights and Kochville Township are printed unsettled with both texts.
- Rules adopted by resolution or posted at the park. A code can let a council or a manager add park rules by resolution or by posting them at the park: Negaunee (Sec. 92.12(B)), Charlotte (Sec. 38-6), Reed City (Sec. 1062.07), Saugatuck (Sec. 95.06), Saginaw (Sec. 91.01(F)) and Battle Creek (Sec. 1060.07(c)(2)) do. Those postings sit outside the codes and were not read, and a posted sign wins.
- Rules whose text was not available. Clinton Township's Ordinance 504 of March 16, 2026 amends its park section. The code viewer says the amendment is not yet codified and its link to the ordinance is dead, so the page prints the three rules the township police state and nothing more. East Grand Rapids' May 2026 micromobility ordinance is read from its draft on the City Commission's agenda. Iron River's own web page announces an Ordinance 2026-01 on e-bike operation on its multi-use paths, sidewalks, streets and trails; the page answered "Page Not Found" and the archive route did not connect, so that ordinance is unread.
- When this map expires. A rule here changes when the Legislature amends MCL 257.662a, when the DNR rescinds or revises Order 5.27 or 4.1b, when a county, city, township or trail commission adopts an ordinance, and when a national forest prints a new motor vehicle use map. Check the verification date at the top of this page before you ride.
- This is not legal advice. Rules change, and a posted sign at the trail governs. The map reflects the rules as read on October 14, 2026.
