This weekend is DNR's "Three Free" weekend

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources encourages everyone to take advantage of “Three Free” Weekend – Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8. It's two full days when Michigan residents and out-of-state visitors can grab a fishing rod, ride the off-road trails and visit state parks, boating access sites and other outdoor locations — all free of charge.
The Three Free Weekend includes the waiver of a fishing license or an off-road vehicle (ORV) license requirement to participate in those activities at DNR parks June 7-8. Other fishing regulations still apply; visit Michigan.gov/FreeFishing for more information.
Also waived for the weekend are Recreation Passport fees, so outdoor enthusiasts without the passport on their vehicles may still access DNR parks without a fee.
