Trail Updates

WINTER SEASON NOTIFICATION 3/28/2023:

All state-funded snowmobile and winter ATV trails will be CLOSING at midnight on March 31, 2023 due to County Ordinance and Private Land Use Agreements expiring. 

Trails are in fair to poor condition. Use caution as there may be icy spots. Road routes are bare. Active logging operations are taking place on Trail 45 between Staples Lake Rd and Airfield Rd, Trail 41 off County Rd X, and Trail 5 between N. Webb Lake Rd and Springbrook Trail.

Please check with the individual snowmobile clubs for the status of club-managed trails.  Lakes & Pines Snowmobile Club has reported closure of Club Trail 5 between County Rd H and Upper Webb Lake due to a large mud hole.

Be sure to use caution as lakes and swamps may not be frozen, and some storm debris may still be present.

When trails are open, you may ride your ATV/UTV on state-funded Winter Use ATV Trails.  Winter Use ATV trails in Burnett County are marked with BLUE blazers.  Snowmobile trails are marked with ORANGE blazers.

All snowmobiles, ATVs and UTVs must display either a Wisconsin registration or an ATV trail pass to ride on our trails.  Only machines meeting the state definition of an ATV/UTV are allowed on these trails.  Please follow this link for the state definitions and registration/pass information.

Use caution and look for signage regarding timber sale activity.  Trucks may be using trails.

Some township ordinances allow for ATV/UTV use of the town roads and other do NOT allow it.  It is the riders' responsibility to contact the township in which you plan to ride in and get the current rules pertaining to ATVs/UTVs and the town roads. Please follow this link for contact information.

NO OFF-TRAIL USE ALLOWED.  Please stay on the designated trails to protect our trail agreements with private landowners.

Caution: Groomers and Trail maintenance vehicles may be on the trails at any time. 

It is your responsibility to know where you are and whose property you are on.  Please be careful, be respectful to other trail users, and ride safely.
