Visitor & Driver Tips
For the best experience at Estey Yard, we recommend verifying your route via GPS, as rural road numbering can occasionally be misinterpreted by older navigation systems. If you are visiting during the winter months, please be mindful of Michigan weather conditions; while the lot is highly accessible, it is always wise to keep a small shovel or traction aid in your vehicle. For those meeting others, the facility offers enough perimeter space to coordinate arrivals safely without blocking thoroughfares.
