Thanks Ironman.

Been to Michigan enough times that I have been to Meijers many times too. I knew they had everything under the sun. Just didn't think of them.

I think you can also get you ORV sticker at the Dunes, it will be the same one that you would get from the mail. Otherwise any store that sells MI Hunting and Fishing Licences can print you an ORV sticker. Most sporting good stores and large retailers. Walmart ect

Does anyone know about the voucher system?

SILVER LAKE SAND DUNE ORV DUNE VOUCHER SYSTEM
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources uses a voucher entry system for off-road vehicles waiting to enter Silver
Lake State Park on weekends and holidays.
The new system includes two types of vouchers:
Dune Ready VouchersFor vehicles that enter the area from public roadways and go straight to the sand dunes without
parking. The free vouchers, which hold a visitor's place in line, will be distributed at a small DNR booth on Fox Road
about one-quarter mile east of the ORV area entrance.
Dune Ready vouchers will be issued for entry during designated two-hour blocks of time throughout the day, beginning at
9 a.m. The five Dune Ready voucher periods are 9 to 11 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 to 3 p.m., 3 to 5 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m.
Individuals may request a specific time period when they pick up their voucher. Persons arriving after 7 p.m. until onehalf
hour before the park closes will not need a voucher. Persons holding a Dune Ready voucher who arrive after their
designated time cannot be guaranteed entrance.
Parking Lot Vouchers
Will guarantee entry between 7 and 9 a.m. only. No parking lot spaces will be guaranteed after 9 a.m. Parking Lot
vouchers are valid for only one day, and vouchers for Sunday will not be issued until all vouchers for Saturday have been
distributed. Lot vouchers will be available at 6 p.m.
Park permits and ORV permits may be purchased at the same location to speed up entry into the ORV area.
For more information on the new voucher system contact Silver Lake State Park at 231-873-3083Dune Safety

I would of like to join you guys but this weekend is already booked.

I was at the dunes last Saturday, had a blast.


FYI July 20, 2013 Sand rail gathering - awesome to watch!!!

The FRF doing anything the end of July again this year at the dunes or is this it?

One more quick dune newbie question. I know the flags have to reach 10ft so... what length flag does everyone run? I know approximately just checking. Not like they sell them around me. I plan on making a mount for my tow hook/bumper area real quick.

 

[Kanakry]

Mark, you can get one at the enterance to the dune basically, I think they are 10'

I have a few extra WSI Dune flag mounts if you want to buy one from WSI. I could bring it with me.

Thanks Jason. Good to know I can get the flag there. I emailed Jimmy about the mount. I am going to have to make up something instead. My big ass stealth bumper sticks out too far in front of hooks
