Event Location & Parking
Event Location:
2928 Glengary Rd
Proud Lake Rec Area Modern Campground
Commerce Township, MI US 48382
Parking:
There will be parking available at the starting area, which is in the RV campground, please make sure you use the correct address as the starting line is not near the main entrance of the state park, but rather at the campground entrance!
This is a state park so to enter the state park you will need a State Recreation Passport (good at all parks all year) upon arrival. This money will be collected at the gate if you do not already have one, but it's cheaper and easier to enter to get it ahead of time!
We encourage people to bring cash & exact change; The credit card machine REALLY slows things down, especially during the rush of people showing up right before race time. Prices are:
- ALL Michigan license plates: $19 (no day pass available).
- Out-of-state license plates: $11/day pass, $41 annual sticker.
From the DNR: “Please be sure to adhere your Recreation Passport to the lower passenger side of your windshield upon purchase. If traffic begins to back up, park staff may waive vehicles through the entrance booth to ensure an on-time race start. This does not waive the requirement of the Recreation Passport. Park staff will issue violation notices requiring vehicles to stop by the office upon departure to obtain the proper vehicle pass. Failure to purchase a vehicle pass may result in a civil infraction.”
A staff member will be located at the yellow star on the image below to filter through the vehicles to see which need a State Park Passport. Those that have the passport will follow the green arrows around the line. Cars who will need a pass will proceed straight ahead & purchase them from the office.
DNR staff may waive vehicles through the entrance gate to avoid traffic backups & facilitate parking. If vehicles are waived in, DNR staff will check parked vehicles & issue notices for those that need to purchase the Recreation Passport upon their departure. This is not a ticket. The violation notice can then be paid & voided at the Campground Office upon your departure, or mailed back to Proud Lake.

- Non-Resident Daily Pass: $11
- Non-Resident Annual Pass: $40
- Michigan Recreation Passport (ALL Michigan license plates): $19
- All vehicles registered in Michigan will need the Recreation Passport for $19. There is not a day pass for in-state vehicles.
