The Vilas County Summer ATV/UTV Trail System will officially close for the season at midnight on Friday, October 31.
Vilas County’s ATV/UTV trail system consists of 42.4 miles of funded trails and 12.7 miles of funded troutes (trail/route hybrids).
Even though the ATV/UTV trail system is closing for the season, all county highways—including County Highways A, B, C, E, G, H (town of Boulder Junction only), J, K, M, N, O, P, S, and W—are open to ATV/UTV traffic year-round, except for those in the town of Lac du Flambeau. Many town roads are also open to ATVers and UTVers all year long; check with local municipalities or ATV clubs in the area to verify.
Numbered highways are not open for ATV use with some minor exceptions.
Thanks to Vilas County’s ATV Clubs, including the Lakeland ATV Club, the Landover ATV Club, the Sayner Barnstormers, and the St. Germain ATV Club for their work to keep the trails in good riding condition this season.
