UPDATED 3/4/2021: Here are a few things you need to know before coming out to the park:
1) All vehicles will be required to have a dune-style flag
- Vehicles requiring seat belts must have a warning flag mounted and extending over the front-most portion of the vehicle.
- Vehicles not requiring seat belts shall mount the warning flag on the rear of the vehicle.
- The warning flag shall be mounted on a staff that is securely bolted, welded or secured to the vehicle.
- The warning flag shall maintain a minimum 10-foot height at stand still and 8-foot in motion
- The warning flag shall be mounted on the top-most end of the staff.
- The flag shall be rectangular, international orange in color, solid material, with a minimum length on the supporting side of five inches, and a minimum length on the base side of 10 inches.
2) Motorcycles and ATVs will be subject to an inspection for a U.S. Forest Service approved spark arrestor. Refunds will not be given for those violators.
3) To ensure that everyone has a fun and safe experience, ticket sales are capped at 500 per day at this time. Online ticket sales will stop two hours before the park closes. In-person sales will stop one hour before the park closes.
4) Tickets for each day can be purchased online starting at 9 p.m. the night before. Buying your ticket online is highly recommended. We will post on our Facebook page when capacity is reached for the day.
5) A ticket is needed for EACH vehicle that will be used in the park (not vehicles that will be left in the parking lot). Online tickets are $15 per vehicle (not per person). On-site sales of vehicle passes are $20 per vehicle.
6) Don't forget your DNR ORV and ORV Trail stickers. If you don't have current stickers, you can purchase them at dozens of locations in/around Oakland County. Visit the DNR's website for a map of locations near you. The closest locations to the park are the Great Lakes Ace and Seven Lakes Party Store in Holly. You can always purchase them at your local Meijer or Walmart in the sporting goods section of the store. The total for both stickers is $36.25.
7) The park gates will open one hour before the park opens.
