Rose City Trail Head
 |
2 blocks east of M-33 on Rose City Road In 2009, the Rose City-Lupton Chamber of Commerce received a Yamaha OHV Access Initiative GRANT for development of a Trail Head & Staging Area within the city limits of Rose City. |
The Rose City Staging Area will provide access to 90 miles of snowmobile trails & 80 miles of ORV trails - just within Ogemaw County! The Staging Area is located 2 blocks east of M-33 on Rose City Road. The 1st phase of this project will provide parking for about 6 rigs. Anticipated opening of this Staging Area is late May 2009. Rose City is virtually surrounded by OHV trails yet lacked a Trail Head & Staging Area for the enthusiast to more easily access these trails. Although 200+ miles of county roads are legal to ride, there was no place for the enthusiast to leave their vehicle & trailer unless as a guest of a local motel. Rose City is located less than 3 hours from Detroit & Grand Rapids. No need to drive to the UP. We've got it all here!! |
