Gandy Dancer Bike Pass & Event Information

Bike Pass Information

A Wisconsin State Trail Pass is required for bicyclists 16 years of age or older to ride the Gandy Dancer Trail. You do not need a pass when hiking. Daily passes are $5.00 and an annual pass is $25.00. These passes are valid on any state bike trail in the state of Wisconsin.

7 different vendors sell passes throughout Burnett County: 

• In Siren: Holiday Station Store (open 24/7), The Lodge at Crooked Lake (open 24/7), and Yourchuck's True Value (open 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily) 
• In Webster: Webster Cog and Sprocket and Northwest Passage-In a New Light Gallery 
• In Danbury: Log Cabin Store (open 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily)

Disabled vets and former prisoners of war (POWs) may obtain a free trail pass.

The regular conservation patron license includes state trail pass rights, so a separate state trail pass is not needed. View the trail map.
