Pentwater, Michigan - Silver Lake Sand Dunes Voucher System

Silver Lake Sand Dunes Voucher System
Back to Silver Lake

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources uses a voucher entry system for off-road vehicles waiting to enter Silver Lake State Park on weekends and holidays.
The new system includes two types of vouchers: Dune Ready vouchers for vehicles that enter the area from public roadways and go straight to the sand dunes without parking, and
Parking Lot vouchers. The free vouchers, which hold a visitor's place in line, will be distributed at a small DNR booth on Fox Road about one-quarter mile east of the ORV area entrance.
Dune Ready vouchers will be issued for entry during designated two-hour blocks of time throughout the day, beginning at 9 a.m. The five Dune Ready voucher periods are 9 to 11 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 to 3 p.m., 3 to 5 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. Individuals may request a specific time period when they pick up their voucher. Persons arriving after 7 p.m. until one-half hour before the park closes will not need a voucher. Persons holding a Dune Ready voucher who arrive after their designated time cannot be guaranteed entrance. Parking Lot vouchers will guarantee entry between 7 and 9 a.m. only. No parking lot spaces will be guaranteed after 9 a.m. Parking Lot vouchers are valid for only one day, and vouchers for Sunday will not be issued until all vouchers for Saturday have been distributed. Lot vouchers will be available at 6 p.m.
Park permits and ORV permits may be purchased at the same location to speed up entry into the ORV area.
