Welcome to the Forest County Forestry and Recreation Department. Our department manages the County’s 15,250.84 acres of forest land, over 400 miles of snowmobile trails, 62 miles of ATV trails, the Veteran's Memorial County Park and Campground, and much more.
All Forest County State funded ATV/UTV Trails are open.
Snowmobile trails are not open for ATV/UTV use by County Ordinance. Please stay on the approved trails and routes. At this time not all Counties have their trails open and Forest Service trails are still closed so be aware of where you are at. Please use caution and appropriate speeds when using the ATV/UTV trails.
The online reservation site will open for 2024 reservations at 9:00am on January 2nd, 2024. You will find the link under the Veteran's Memorial Park tab.
Veterans Memorial Park will be open beginning May 1, 2024 - October 1, 2024.
Snowmobile Trail Update:
All Forest County State funded snowmobile trails are closed for the season
For questions, please contact Forest County Forestry and Recreation Department.
Forest County has about 406 miles of state funded trails maintained by five snowmobile clubs including the 100 Mile Snow Safari, Lumberjack Memorial Trails, Black Bear Sportsmen’s Club Trails, Three Lakes Trails and the Tombstone-Pickerel Trails.
Please remember that the Nicolet State Trail, the Wolf River State Trail, and the Valley Trail are the ONLY snowmobile trails in Forest County that are currently open for ATV and UTV use. The Forest County Snowmobile Trail Ordinance currently prohibits ATV, UTV use and motor vehicle use on all other snowmobile trails in Forest County. Snowmobile trails are “NOT” open for motor vehicle use or hunting. THOSE DRIVING TRUCKS ON TRAILS ARE SUBJECT TO FINES THROUGH THE COUNTY SNOWMOBILE TRAIL ORDINANCE.
