Drummond Island, Mich. (Aug. 30, 2010) – Located in the far northeastern tip of Michigan’s upper peninsula, Drummond Island was honored this past weekend by BFGoodrich® Tires as one of the 2010 Outstanding Trails. Off-road enthusiasts and members of the Drummond Island Off-Road club were in attendance as BFGoodrich Tires presented a grant of $4,000 to the club’s president. The grant will be used to preserve the scenic off-highway trail system and continue conservation efforts for one of America’s most beautiful areas for off-roading.

BFGoodrich Tires, working in conjunction with Tread Lightly!® and United Four Wheel Drive Associations (UFWDA), chose the Drummond Island trail system because of its beauty and challenge that it presents to off-road enthusiasts. The Drummond Island trail system offers more than 115 miles of trail laid out in a closed loop system and provide a wide range of riding opportunities. Many of the trails on the island run along stone ridges that were carved out by Lake Huron and the last ice age.

“Surrounded by the waters of Lake Huron, set deep into a boreal forest, Drummond Island offers a riding experience that is truly unique and exciting; it’s one of the finest trail systems in the Northeast United States,” said Joe Mazur, light truck brand category manager for BFGoodrich Tires. “We’re honored to join with the Drummond Island Off-Road club to help in the conservation efforts for this amazing off-road trail system, and are extremely proud of the work that this club does year-round to keep this trail open for use.”

The Drummond Island Off-Road club is a not-for-profit organization that works to create a legal, safe and unique OHV trail system in the middle of Lake Huron for the riding public to experience and enjoy.

Celebrating its five-year anniversary, the BFGoodrich Tires Outstanding Trails program is dedicated to the responsible use, and preservation of, off-road trails while providing aid in the trails’ conservation efforts. Since its inception, the Outstanding Trails program has recognized 19 off-road trails in 16 states and two in Canada. The program has also given more than $70,000 in grants to clubs and seen more than 2,500 participants at trail events.

Each of the trails honored will be highlighted on BFGoodrich Tires’ Nation of GO throughout the year. Nation of GO allows visitors to interact with members, as well as share their experiences on the trails by tracking drives and uploading photos and videos.
