Mitten State Tours is a vibrant community of off-road enthusiasts who live for the thrill of the trail. Founded in 2020, we've grown into a network of over 1,000 passionate off-roaders from Michigan and beyond. Whether you're into rock crawling, overlanding, mudding, water crossings, or simply exploring the great outdoors, you'll find your place here.
Who We Are
We're more than just a group of off-roaders — we're a community. Our members range from beginners taking their first steps into off-roading to seasoned experts who have seen and done it all. While we welcome all vehicle types and aren't tied to any one brand, you'll find plenty of brand loyalists ready to share their tips and stories.
We believe that off-roading is about more than just the trails. It's about the camaraderie, the unforgettable memories, and the shared passion for adventure. That's why we host a variety of events and experiences designed to bring people together and celebrate the off-road lifestyle.
