Adventure Planners are 28-page booklets that provide visitors with information on camping, hiking, biking, skiing, motorized trails and rivers across the Forests, along with general information on permits, motor vehicle use maps, gold panning, metal detecting and campfires.  Each planner contains a map that gives a general overview of where recreation sites are located across the Huron or Manistee Forests. These can be printed on 8.5x11 paper.

The MVUM Displays:

• National Forest System (NFS) roads, trails, or areas designated open to motorized travel.
• Allowed uses by vehicle class (ex. highway-legal vehicles, vehicles 50 inches or less in width, motorcycles, etc), and
• seasonal allowances

Routes not shown on the MVUM are not open to public motor vehicle travel. Routes designated for motorized use may not always be signed on the ground but will be identified on the MVUM.

It will be the public’s responsibility to reference the most current MVUM to stay on designated roads, trails, and areas open to motor vehicle use. Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicle use by a particular class of vehicle should not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use, or to imply that the road or trail is passable, actively maintained, or safe for travel.

As a motor vehicle operator on a National Forest System road or trail you must comply with this map, as well as all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

The MVUM will be updated annually to correct mapping errors and update travel decisions.

The MVUM is a black and white map with no topographic features. It is a map for legal designations of where you can travel with various motorized vehicles, but for additional reference it is best used in conjunction with other detailed maps. The MVUM is free to the public.

If you do not already have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader you can download a copy from Adobe.

There are several ways to get a copy of an MVUM:

A quadrangle map location diagram for quad maps is available here.

"Topographic Maps" provide the greatest level of detail and only cover small portions of a forest. The maps are available for download or purchase from the US Geological Survey website.

These maps are at a scale of 2.64 inches equals 1 mile and are in a 7 ½’ latitude by 7 ½’ longitude quadrangle format. They were derived from the U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangles, are highly detailed, and serve as the base for all other Huron-Manistee National Forests maps. Topography is shown with a contour interval of 10 or 20 feet or 5 meters.

Topographical maps show topography of an area, boundaries between private and federal land, most roads and trails, and all water systems.  For a map that shows the most up-to-date road and motorized trail information see the information on obtaining a Motor Vehicle Use Map.
