Snowmobile Operators

The State of Wisconsin has adopted, by legislative action, a system of funding whereby snowmobilers themselves pay for the vast network of trails that criss-cross the State. Monies are generated by snowmobile registration and by State gas taxes on the portion of the fuel used by snowmobilers. This fund is administered by the Department of Natural Resources and cooperating counties that have adopted the program. Counties contract with individuals or organizations to develop and maintain trails, usually local snowmobile clubs.

Please Note the Following:

Please respect all public and private property and stay on marked trails and routes.
Use EXTREME CAUTION on all lakes and streams. "Self-funded" and corridor trails do not cross lakes.
Obey all state laws and local ordinances.
Do not operate snowmobiles on highways and roads unless posted as a snowmobile route. Snowmobile routes on roads are designated by local ordinance.
All snowmobiles must have current registration.
