Recreational Vehicles

ATV, Boat, & Snowmobile

The Bayfield County Sheriff's Office, local law enforcement officers, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and federal agencies enforce laws involving recreational vehicles. Safety and education is the goal.

• Stay on designated trails open to your sport. Not all snowmobile trails are open to ATVs, they cross private property and Federal Forest.
• Bayfield County also has many non-motorized trails.
• Please respect private property.
• Don't drink and drive.
• Wear a helmet.
• Slow down. Speed Kills.
• Take a safety course.
• Be familiar with the laws. ATV, boat, and snowmobile regulations are available at the Wisconsin DNR website.
