Saturday, June 12, and Sunday, June 13, are days that encourage residents and nonresidents of Michigan to fish, ride off-road trails and visit state parks - all free of charge.
“Three Free” weekend includes fishing without a license, an event that has been offered since 1986, said Sierra Medrano, Michigan DNR communications representative.
“Free fishing weekend pretty much provides a great opportunity for those who are interested in fishing to give it a try and for those who haven’t fished in a while who are interested in getting back into it. It’s a great opportunity for those to do it with family or with a friend, or even just by yourself.”
If you are looking to hit the trails and save some money, the free ORV weekends have been scheduled.
Despite angry weather patterns and rough roads, Michigan is definitely one of the best places to live. There are so many activities to take part in and enjoy and a lot of them you can do for free.
