MARQUETTE — Snowmobiling is a huge tourist draw for the Upper Peninsula and the DNR is asking for your help to keep it that way.
They’re asking if you see any snowmobile trail signs being vandalized or stolen that you report it.
It’s a problem throughout the U.P. and Lower Michigan. The DNR believes signs are stolen for wall decorations or by people protesting trails.
They also say the signs that are stolen most often are stop signs which could threaten safety on the trails.
“The long and the short of it is it’s a major health and safety risk and these snowmobile trails are important to the people of the Upper Peninsula and they are very important to the people who come here,” said Ron Yesney of the DNR. “We have a world class snowmobile trail system and we want it preserved.”
If you see any signs being vandalized, contact your local DNR Office or call the RAP line 24 hours a day at 1-800-292-7800.?
