Price County ATV/UTV Trail Update

All Price County trails are now open including several multi-use trails that welcome recreational motorized vehicle use.

The new 9.5-mile Solberg Lake Trail located just northeast of Phillips is now open and allows ATVs, off-road motorcycles, and UTVs up to 50" wide. This trail connects to the 70-mile Flambeau Trail System at Sailor Lake. The south parking area is located at N10574 E. Solberg Lake Road about 3 miles from downtown Phillips and the north parking area is south of Hwy. 70 on Forest Road 139.

The Flambeau Trail System (70 miles) in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest is open to ATVs, off-road motorcycles, and UTVs up to 50" wide. Last week's heavy rains and winds caused washouts and areas with downed trees. Use caution when riding the trails as some of these areas are still being worked on. The Tuscobia State Trail (62 miles) is open to ATV & UTV use; the trail has recently been graded and it is in good condition; however, there are still a few rough areas. The Flambeau River State Forest trail (38 miles) is open to ATVs & UTVs and the trail is reported in good conition; however, trail construction is underway near Snuss Blvd., south of Hwy 70. Gravel is being added to the trail surface and trail users should use extreme caution and drive at speeds that allow reaction time to avoid heavy equipment and dump trucks. The Georgetown Trail (16 miles) west of Phillips is open to ATVs, UTVs, and off-road motorcycles and it is in good condition. There is logging taking place in a section near the north end of the trail and it is rough in that area.
