UTV & E-Bike Adventures with Silverlake Adventures in Mears, MI

Located along Michigan’s western shoreline, Mears is a gateway to the towering sand dunes of Silver Lake State Park, a sprawling playground of glistening white dunes sculpted by wind and water over generations. Silverlake Adventures taps into this raw landscape offering rugged 4-seater and 2-seater UTV rentals, Jeep E-Bikes, and sandboards, providing a hands-on way to navigate some of the most dynamic terrain in the Midwest. The towering dunes are not only a geological marvel of shifting quartz sand but serve as a magnet for outdoor thrill-seekers looking to power through steep climbs and wind-swept ridges.

Silverlake Adventures stands out in the region by delivering accessible vehicle rentals that range from high-powered side-by-sides ideal for group outings to nimble Jeep E-Bikes that let riders weave through sandy trails and forested sections. Sandboards add a playful option for sliding down the dunes on foot, inviting an active, adrenaline-fueled afternoon in nature. Unlike many outdoor outfitters that focus solely on hiking or water sport, Silverlake Adventures merges motorized adventure with the unique dune environment.

This area also carries a rich cultural history tied to the Great Lakes logging era and native Ojibwa tribes, making each trip a chance to witness landscapes shaped by both nature and human stories. The shifting dunes constantly reshape the experience, requiring drivers and riders to adapt quickly to ever-changing trails. Silverlake Adventures’ gear and local knowledge enhance safety while supporting responsible recreation in this fragile ecosystem.

Whether it’s a family ride through the dunes, a solo e-bike trek on winding paths, or an afternoon of sandboarding on steep slopes, Silverlake Adventures provides unmatched access to a rugged corner of Michigan with endless opportunity for active play and discovery just beyond the lakeshore.
