The Gladwin experience.

The Gladwin trail system, located in Gladwin, MI is a great place to ride atvs. The first impression is great when you pull up into the spacious parking lot, because right off the bat you'll notice there are no guard booths, hence no parking fees. It's completely free. The trails are split into two areas, what are known as the North and South systems. Each system has a main seasonal road, with many trails branching off each one. My recommendation is to stay away from the South system. The trails are solid whoops, from entry to exit, and there's not much variation in the riding experience. The North, however, is where the excitement is at. From the sandy, seasonal roads, to wooded trails, it's far superior than the South. The whoops on the trails aren't nearly as bad, and the trails range from open ground, to deep woods, to logging country. There are little "scramble areas" off some trails that remind me of the dunes: large, open areas of nothing but sand, bowls, and jumps. I suggest everyone make a trip here.
