ATVing & UTVing In Minocqua

ATV riding has become an exciting recreational sport for many in the state of Wisconsin. Our area provides access to many trail systems within a short drive. The Towns of Minocqua, Woodruff and Arbor Vitae have opened up ATV routes within the Townships for the purpose of accessing neighboring trail systems.  
ATV and UTV operators born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 who are at least 12 years old for ATV (and at least 16 years old for UTV) must complete an ATV and UTV safety certification course in order to operate on public ATV/UTV trails and areas in Wisconsin. DNR Conservation Wardens recommend all ATV and UTV operators complete a safety course.

When do area trails close? 

All Vilas County roads and dirt trails close on October 31st.  All blacktop roads in Oneida County & the Town of Arbor Vitae are open year-round. Oneida County dirt trails close on December 2nd.  See the temporary winter routes listed below.
