Along with the Wisconsin ATV Association, Dairyland Cycle Insurance understands the constant need for club funding to keep our trails open and sport growing.

Forest Service requests motorized trail users to delay riding until May 10, 2011
RHINELANDER, Wis. (April 27, 2011) -- The U.S. Forest Service is asking the public to voluntarily delay using motorized trails on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest until May 10, 2011.

Although the trails officially open May 1, late spring weather conditions make trails prone to erosion and other damage, explained Catherine Pinegar, Forest Recreation Planner.

“As everyone in Wisconsin knows, it has been a long winter and late spring in the state. Because of this we are asking motorized trail users to refrain from riding on the Forest’s motorized trails until May 10,” she said.

Forest officials expect all trail surfaces to be frost free and sufficiently dry by May 10, she said.

“This is a completely voluntary action and we hope the public will use good judgment and help us protect their trails from potential damage during spring thaw and reduce costly trail repairs and maintenance,” added Forest Supervisor Paul Strong. “We welcome motorized trail
users back and we ask that they honor their sport and the National Forest by riding responsibly.”

Riders need to be aware that towns continue to allow ATVs on certain town jurisdiction gas tax roads. In addition, riders should check with county and state managed trail offices and websites for any trail closures.
