M-211 is a state trunkline highway in the Lower Peninsula (LP) of Michigan that connects the community of Onaway with Onaway State Park. The highway runs through farmland and forests along the 5.174-mile (8.327 km) route to the park. The trunkline was originally designated M-95 from 1919 until 1934. In that year, the designation was moved to a different highway in the Upper Peninsula (UP), and the state park connector was given the current number. The highway was last changed by 1960 when paving was completed.
M-211 is a two-lane highway that starts at M-68 in downtown Onaway. The trunkline runs north out of town on Main Street past business and residences. It crosses the North Eastern State Trail and passes the Leo E. Getz County Airport north of town. M-211 enters an area of farmland north of the airport. As it continues north and approaches Onaway State Park, the terrain transitions to forest land. M-211 ends at the intersection with Bonz Beach Highway in front of the state park gate. All of M-211 is undivided highway.
Like other state highways in Michigan, M-211 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). In 2010, the department's traffic surveys showed that on average, 1,429 vehicles used the highway in the city of Onaway and 1,254 vehicles did so north of the city line to the state park. No section of M-211 is listed on the National Highway System, a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.
