On the shores of Lake Michigan, outside of the small town of Mears, is the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. A high flying and fast paced sand adventure! Check out what it's all about!

Silver Lake, as far as I know, is the only place in Michigan that has dunes that vehicles are allowed on. It’s fun to head up there a couple times a year.

Silver lake is a beautiful area with gorgeous dunes you can tackle or just watch the fun.

You gotta try it out! Get your tags, flag, and air down those tires!

Right. Definitely one of the quieter weekends I’ve been out there. I once went in October before it closed for the year and we had the place to ourselves.

You said at the beginning they check your plates to make sure u have all the right tags! What sort of tags do u need?
@TrailExpedition4 ай бұрын
The Michigan ORV and ORV Trail Tags. I think it’s around $45-$50 for both of them and good for all year.

Were you wheelin in 4hi/traction control off the whole time or were there parts to go in 4lo?
@TrailExpedition11 ай бұрын
I honestly stick in four low most of not all the time. I don’t feel the need to drive fast through the dunes.

You should be in control of the times of going up and down again

I’m going Friday for the first time. Do you remember what your speed was going up that first hill?
@TrailExpedition Жыл бұрын
Honestly couldn’t tell you. Once you get passed the woops at the bottom, just peg it. Having low tire pressure is key to getting up test hill.

@@TrailExpedition thank you! Is the top flat enough that I will have time to slow down once I’m at the top. My irrational fear is accidentally pulling some Evel Knievel stunt and I will then be outed as the total Noob that I am. 😂👀
@TrailExpedition Жыл бұрын
The last time I was there, it was very flat on the top so plenty of room to slow down. However, the dunes are constantly changing. Have fun!

In my country, the sand is so soft that it is annoying 🙂

where is the best place to get a flag?
@TrailExpedition Жыл бұрын
You can order them online or you can buy one right at the entrance to the dunes. There are two shops there that sell all kinds of off-road items.

@@TrailExpedition thank you brother I just went yesterday and had a blast in my gx460. No issues on stock tires. For anyone reading this with a gx lock your center diff. I noticed a big difference on the sand locked and unlocked.
@TrailExpedition Жыл бұрын
Right on. Good to hear it was a pleasant experience. Low tire pressure is key for floating on the sand as opposed to sinking into it.
