Aside from that, here are the places I know of right off hand:
Area around Camp Grayling in Grayling, MI - lots of hills and sand play areas - this is probably my second favorite after R&V (stock friendly)
Bundy Hill Off Road Park in Jerome, MI
The Mounds Off Road Park in Mt Morris, MI - alot of mud and tight trails, a few nice rock crawl areas setup though
Silver Lake Sand Dunes, Mears, MI - sand dunes, stock friendly
St Helen Scramble Area, St Helen, MI - very stock friendly area, a few rock crawl areas
Bull Gap Dune Climb, near Mio, MI - the climb is fun, its just a long big hill, but the rest of the area is essentially just roads (stock friendly)
A lot of legal forest roads/ORV routes within the National Forest areas (though most are essentially just dirt roads); and some state land areas, but they can be a little hard to decipher where you can and can't go sometimes.
For those last three on the list, a run in that area generally starts around Mio, hit Bull Gap, then take trails over to St Helen and then play around in the scramble area (or vice versa)

My personal favorite is the Rocks and Valleys ORV park - a little bit of everything for everybody there, but a little bit of lift goes a long ways just to help keep from bottoming out on many of the trails.

Thanks for the information! I will definitely look into these places.

I know there is another place called the "snow bowl". It's on state land just north of reed city. Been there once and it was fun, but it was tight in some areas. Might be meant for atvs but the tracks are wide enough for my jku. Going back when the snow melts. Will take pictures and give you exact location then.
