SNOWMOBILE TRAILS

UPDATED: 3/6/25

Forest County Snowmobile Trails

SNOWMOBILE TRAILS: CLOSED


  

All Forest County State funded snowmobile and ATV trails are Closed. 

Forest County Ordinance prohibits the use of ATV/UTV’s on all State funded trails in Forest County during this closure. 

For questions, please contact Forest County Forestry and Recreation Department.


The Forest County Snowmobile Clubs, (100 Mile Snow Safari, Black Bear Sportsman’s Club, Lumberjack Memorial Trails, Three Lakes Trails, and Tombstone – Pickerel Snowmobile Club) along with sponsors have put in many volunteer hours of brushing, signing, and trail work to confirm a safe opening of the snowmobile 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.

Updated trail condition reports can be found daily by calling the Forest County Snowline at 715-478-2024 or logging onto the Forest County website at www.forestcountywi.com.
