ATV/UTV Trail Use:
Please be advised that with The Spring Wildfire Season here, The Wild Rivers Trail and Shell Lake Rail Grade are the only two trail sections that remain open during this time. The State has the authority to shut down The Wild Rivers Trail when fire danger reaches Very High or Higher. It is the responsibility of the riders to know if trails are open or closed due to the fire danger for that day. This closure will remain in effect until further notice. All official Washburn County ATV trails are considered open to year round use, with the exception of the spring closure from April 1 through the first Friday before Memorial Day weekend.
