Michigan/DNR Data
< Michigan
The State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources has divisions for Forestry, Fisheries, Wildlife, and Parks and Recreation. Much of their spatial data is made available through an ESRI ArcGIS Online Hub.
Add to this table data sources that could or have been used to verify data in Michigan from the DNR - for import processes see Import.
Table of Data Sources
| Datasource Name | Equivalent OSM Keys | Data Status | Data Source Last Updated by MDNR | User Lead | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Michigan DNR Project Boundary 2020 | boundary=* |
In Progress | 2022-05-03 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains boundaries of state parks, forest management units, wildlife areas, recreation areas, and other collected named property holdings as part of the comprehensive strategy for land retention, acquisition, and disposal. It appears to be frequently updated by the MDNR. |
| Non Motorized Trails | highway=path highway=bridleway cycleway=* |
In Progress | 2022-04-29 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains non-motorized trails such as bicycle, horse-riding, and hiking paths. This dataset is updated weekly and appears to be the authoritative source from the Michigan DNR for mapping these features. |
| Michigan DNR Designated Water Trails | route=canoe |
In Progress | 2022-04-28 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains water trails. This dataset seems to be updated weekly in conjunction with the Non-Motorized Trails data and appears to be the authoritative source from the Michigan DNR for mapping these features. |
| Michigan DNR Designated Bicycle Trails | route=bicycle route=mtb |
In Progress | 2022-04-28 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains Bicycle and mountain biking routes, often in conjunction with trails with primary designation for hiking, so perhaps may better mapped as separate route relations. This dataset is updated weekly in conjunction with the Non-Motorized Trails data and appears to be the authoritative source from the Michigan DNR for mapping these features. |
| Michigan DNR Designated Equestrian Trails | route=horse |
In Progress | 2022-04-28 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains horse-riding trails. This dataset seems to be updated weekly in conjunction with the Non-Motorized Trails data and appears to be the authoritative source from the Michigan DNR for mapping these features. |
| Michigan DNR Designated Ski Trails | route=piste |
In Progress | 2022-04-28 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains cross-country ski trails. This dataset seems to be updated weekly in conjunction with the Non-Motorized Trails data and appears to be the authoritative source from the Michigan DNR for mapping these features. |
| Michigan DNR Designated ORV Routes | route=atv |
In Progress | 2022-04-28 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains trails for off-roading use of motor vehicles that are capable of navigating smoothness=horrible and smoothness=very_horrible, usually within the category of Off-road vehicle such as atv's, Side-by-side (vehicle), and motorcycle:type=offroad, but full-size highway vehicles may also be permitted on some routes. For those routes open to all types, consider tagging for [[key:ohv|off highway vehicle] and key:4wd_only. For routes only open to narrower vehicles such as atv's and off-road motorcycles, specify the key:maxwidth restriction and do not use key:ohv.
|
| Michigan DNR Designated Motorcycle Trails | route=motorcycle |
In Progress | 2022-04-28 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains dirtbike trails. Consider tagging with motorcycle:type=offroad to clarify the types of motorcycles suitable for trail use. This dataset seems to be updated weekly in conjunction with the Non-Motorized Trails data and appears to be the authoritative source from the Michigan DNR for mapping these features.
|
| Michigan DNR Designated MCCCT Trails | route=motorcycle |
In Progress | 2022-04-28 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains off-road motor vehicle trails managed by the Michigan Cross Country Cycle Club "MCCT". This dataset is a subset of the DNR Designated ORV Routes data source with the difference being operator=*. This dataset seems to be updated weekly in conjunction with the Non-Motorized Trails data and appears to be the authoritative source from the Michigan DNR for mapping these features.

| Low-slope/PAMD accessible parking area | amenity=parking |
Not Started | 2019-03-29 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains listings of handicap-accessible parking areas, but appears to have only 4 records and not recently updated |
| Low-slope/PAMD accessible parking and field blinds | amenity=parking amenity=hunting_stand |
Not Started | 2019-03-29 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains listings of handicap-accessible parking areas and hunting blinds, but appears to have only 8 records and not recently updated |
| Low-slope/PAMD accessible trail | highway=footway |
Not Started | 2019-03-29 | Skunkman56 | This dataset contains listings of handicap-accessible trails, but appears to have only 4 records and not recently updated |

User Lead
User account responsible for coordinating monitoring of deviation from source for verification, errors, etc. Possibly could be primarily done via software or script, but someone should still be a point of contact and making sure any automated alerts are being monitored. Responsibility shifts from Import (coordinating the import) to maintainer (making sure the data stays fresh and current). Anyone can claim this role, but should be responsive to messages via change-sets, OSM lists, and/or direct messages.
