Michigan Shoreline Horse Friends

Promoting and sustaining opportunities to horseback ride the Lake Michigan shoreline.

About

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has asked that a volunteer horse friends’ group be developed to:

  • Help direct participants in the Silver Lake State Park Equestrian Parking Area (aka ORV Parking Area).
  • Assist participants to ensure the Equestrian Parking Area has a “clean slate standard.”
  • Provide cleanup along the Horse Dune Route.
  • Provide information about local horse camping and resources.
