Frequently Asked Questions

A GPX file is a standard file format for exchanging GPS data: waypoints, routes and tracks. It can be loaded into a GPS or navigation device.


What is a Recreation Passport?

A Recreation Passport provides motorized vehicle access to state parks, state recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, and state non-motorized trail heads. It also is used for DNR boat launches that have a fee. For State of Michigan residents, it can be purchased when a license plate is renewed. For out-of-state residents, it can be purchased on-site. Campsites require an additional per-night fee. Non-motorized entry does not require a passport.
