M-211 is a short, two-lane state highway in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. It runs about 5 miles from M-68 in downtown Onaway north to Onaway State Park, passing farmland and then forested areas before reaching the park. The road begins at M-68 on Main Street, crosses the North Eastern State Trail, and passes Leo E. Getz County Airport before continuing north toward the park. It ends at Bonz Beach Highway in front of the park gate. The entire route is undivided and is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).

In 2010, average daily traffic was about 1,429 vehicles in Onaway and 1,254 vehicles north of town toward the state park. M-211 is not part of the National Highway System.

History: The road was originally designated M-95 from 1919 to 1934. In 1934 the M-95 designation was moved to a highway in the Upper Peninsula, and the Onaway park connector became M-211. By the mid-1960s the highway was paved and has remained largely the same since. All of M-211 is located in Presque Isle County.
