Why are the ATV/Dirt Bike Trails closed?

We determine the availability of the trails on a daily basis.  They may be closed for an event that is using that area or they may be closed due to weather.  We often can not tell you if they will be open tomorrow or on a certain weekend, that's why we recommend you call the day you would like to visit to listen to the taped message (262) 878-5600.   Loop 3 is closed until noon every day because dog training and ATV/Dirt Bike riding are not compatible activities.  This closure gives the dog trainers a safe time to train their dogs.  During pheasant hunting season they are closed each day until 2pm. 

What type of machines are allowed on the trails?

1. Dirt Bikes of any size.
    
2. ATV’s up to 48” wide, weighing up to 900 pounds with three or 4 low pressure tires and a seat that can be straddles.  Dune buggies, go-carts or other off-road vehicles including trucks are not allowed. 
   
   
3. Machines must remain on the trail at all times, regardless of trail conditions.
   
   
4. All machines must have a functioning muffler approved by the US Forest Service.

Q.   What do I do if I arrive and the office is closed?
You must self register.


Directions to self register:
 
There is a labeled self-registration box located next to the ice machine at the Entrance Station.  Lift the lid and there are arrows on the lid indicating which envelope to use for camping/vehicle admission stickers or trail passes or hunting.   The registration and envelope are all one form.  Please fill out the registration legibly and completely.  There is a fee schedule located on the wall of the building (just above the lid), place the correct amount (we take checks or cash) in the envelope.  Remove the top copy and place it on your vehicle dash (for camping and vehicle admission) or on your person (for trail or hunting passes).  Peel off the strip, fold it over and seal the envelope.  Put it in the slot in the yellow post.  If you want an annual sticker or annual trail pass, make sure we can read your name and address and put the correct amount in the envelope. We will mail the sticker to you.  If you do not self-register, you will be subject to a fine.
