The Gladwin ORV Scramble Area offers about 50 miles of trails that form long loops. The terrain is mostly sandy with some hardpack and little loose dirt, rocks, or mud. The trail system has a few small jumps, many berms, and a few water crossings. The southern loop leads to a large play area, while the northern loop connects to the Michigan Cross Country Trail. The park is best suited for intermediate riders, with some beginner and limited expert-level terrain.
The trails are open to ATVs and UTVs with a maximum width of 50 inches, but Jeeps are prohibited. A main staging area offers direct access to both the northern and southern loops.Dirt Bike Trail System
