Our Mission
Upper Peninsula Outdoor Alliance protects and advances outdoor recreation in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula by championing access, responsible stewardship, and sustainable tourism for motorized and non-motorized users while supporting veterans, first responders, and youth.
Stand With Those Who Fight for the U.P. Outdoors
In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the outdoors are more than a destination—they are our way of life. They are where families ride, hike, hunt, fish, explore, heal, and build lasting memories. Upper Peninsula Outdoor Alliance was created to protect that way of life by bringing together motorized and non-motorized recreation, defending access to the places we love, and promoting responsible stewardship for generations to come. We proudly support the veterans, first responders, and youth who represent the strength, sacrifice, and future of our communities. As a pending 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are building a powerful movement rooted in unity, hard work, and deep respect for the land and the people who depend on it. When you sponsor Upper Peninsula Outdoor Alliance, you are not just supporting an organization—you are investing in the future of outdoor recreation, small-town communities, and the enduring spirit of the Upper Peninsula.
Event Management & Future Planning
Upper Peninsula Outdoor Alliance is building events that bring people together, strengthen our outdoor community, and create lasting impact across the U.P. From trail rides, stewardship projects, youth programs, and community fundraisers to future large-scale recreational events, our goal is to develop meaningful opportunities that promote access, responsible recreation, tourism, and unity among motorized and non-motorized users. As we grow, we are committed to planning safe, organized, and mission-driven events that support veterans, first responders, youth, and the long-term future of outdoor recreation in the Upper Peninsula.
