Silver Lake Sand Dunes in Mears Michigan Trip- Weekend of August 14th-16th

[Kbracken]

A weekend isn't enough. We get there on the 7/25 leaving 8/3. Watch the sunset every night then some ice cream...

Yeah I really wish I had more than a weekend there, but it's not too far from me so, there may be a few trips there in my future.

You all still heading to Silver Lake that weekend?

Yes we are, plans have changed a little tho, instead of going up Friday night, we are driving up super early Saturday morning.

I have a fire dept obligation Saturday the 15th. We may make it up in the afternoon but Im not sure yet. Don't forget when you come up, to get on the dunes you will need a flag on the front of your jeep, a state park pass, a Michigan ORV, and a trail permit. All in for stickers its about $70. All your stickers can be purchased at the DNR parking lot to the East of the dune entrance. If you need a flag there are several shops that sell them, you just need a way to mount it to your bumper. For air pressure do yourself a favor and start at 12psi. The dunes were a little choppy this weekend with alot of sugar sand. I ended up at 10psi before the day was over.

That would be cool if you make it out that day too. But correct me if I'm wrong ( and I found out after planning the weekend) but I think that coincidentally, that weekend is Free ORV weekend, so I don't think there is a need for the passes and permits that weekend. Also, isn't there a few places up there that rent flags and has brackets to attach to the front bumper? But again I could be wrong.

But I will definitely take your advice on the 12 PSI and adjust accordingly.
