WHERE TO TRY THE NEWEST RIDES

It’s time to hit the trails! Over 100 miles of ATV & UTV trails link to an ever-growing Northwest Wisconsin ATV Trail system and Washburn County is a premier ATV destination that you won’t want to miss. Multiple loops throughout the county, linking to the Wild Rivers and Tuscobia State Trails, create an ATV experience like no other. Ample ATV parking areas and access to lodging and restaurants make planning an ATV vacation easy.

ATV trails typically open the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and stay open through the fall.

Looking for a fun way to explore the trails? Check out the Washburn County ATV Scenic Tour which highlights over 35 points of interest located along the 100+ mile ATV system.

We lived vicariously through Rob Hallstrom, Paul Dick, and Rex Hibbert and their spirit of adventure, and for that I want to personally thank them.
