The MI-TRALE FREE Fall Senior Color Ride is another great MI-TRALE sponsored event with high demand among our senior citizens. This ride is supported by volunteers who offer their Side-by-Side ORVs, and their time, to ensure that our guests have a great day viewing the glorious autumnal color of the Western UP of Michigan foliage.
The ride takes the morning group from the Ontonagon County Fairgrounds along the Bill Nicholls Trail to Twin Lakes Fire Hall to join the afternoon group for lunch. After a combined group lunch, the afternoon group makes the return trip back to the fairgrounds. The day would not be possible without the support of Laird Township, Krupps Mini Mart for providing their fantastic pasties for lunch and many others.
Note: That the Twin Lakes State Park is closed this summer due to repairs. MI-TRALE has an agreement with Laird Township to use the Twin Lake Fire Hall.
If you are a senior and would like to participate in this year’s 16th Annual Free Fall Senior Color Ride, Thursday Sept 25th 2025, call coordinators Dave or Pat Bishop at (906) 884-6617.
