So much Michigan is free this weekend

It’s “Three Free” weekend across Michigan this Saturday and Sunday (June 10th and 11th). That means state licensing requirements will be waved for fishing and off-road vehicles. At the same time, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources won’t require a Recreation Passport or daily pass for entry into state parks. Time to do all the things!
