All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Trail Pass

Wisconsin law requires those who use Wisconsin ATV trails to display either Wisconsin registration or an ATV trail pass. Funds from this program will be designated for use as trail aids and related costs to enhance all Wisconsin ATV recreation. The trail pass may be purchased online at the Wisconsin DNR website: www.dnr.state.wi.us , or over the counter at any Washburn County license sales location.

• The $18.00 non-resident ATV trail use pass is valid from July 1st through June 30th.
• An ATV trail pass is required to operate an ATV.
• The trail pass must be permanently affixed by its own adhesive in a highly visible location on the forward half of the ATV.
• Once affixed, the sticker may not be removed or transferred to another ATV.

When used safely and wisely an all terrain vehicle (ATV) can provide a source of fun and family recreation. When used unwisely by an untrained, inexperienced operator, an all-terrain vehicle can be very, very dangerous. With safety in mind, an all-terrain vehicle can be a useful tool for work and a great means of exploring the outdoors.

It is the responsibility of all ATV operators to make the sport a safe one. Take an ATV Safety Course.
