In the state of Michigan is it illegal to drive drunk on private property?

the cabin sits on 60 acres of land, some wooded some open. He had too many drinks on Dad's property. Got into his 2008 Ford Mustang and drove recklessly and was stopped by a DNR officer. He never drove onto a public road. There is no question he was drunk under the provisions of the law. In Michigan it states in the MCL an area open to the "general public", "generally accesible". Would a cabin sittting on 60 acres of land, and son on no public road can be charged?

In most states it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence - it makes no difference where or what type of vehicle - boats, snowmobiles,riding lawn mowers, an automobile - it's illegal to drink and operate them in any manner.

It is illegal anywhere to start a motor when drunk or drinking. Due for YOUR safety.
