Well, there's no such thing as a free lunch
Someone has to pay for the trails (building and maintaining them) and most everyone would agree that fees for use are the way to go - as opposed to using tax revenue (and raising taxes).
Besides, I have a hard time getting upset about this - snowmobilers, ATV folks - if you're going to spend $1000s on a machine, $100s on gas to ride, you can also afford a few bucks to support MI's awesome trail network.
That's the kind of investment MI needs - developing more outdoor recreation.
