Permits & Reciprocity

The April 15 Grant Deadline marks Wisconsin’s ATV Trail Aids application target; public sponsors should confirm eligibility, scope and paperwork early.

Wisconsin ATV trail aids grants help local sponsors improve public trails, but funding depends on eligible projects, approvals and grant conditions.

Wisconsin Trail Aids support eligible public sponsors, not individual riders; see who may apply, which projects fit, and how clubs can partner locally.

Wisconsin State Park ATV Restrictions: use only routes open to ATVs; check park rules, registration and pass requirements before riding.

Wisconsin county forest ATV and UTV rules vary by property: confirm open routes, permits, closures, and machine requirements before riding.

Wisconsin ATV and UTV club events may need land-manager approval, route permissions, and insurance; individual riders still meet permit and safety rules.

Wisconsin organized ATV and UTV rides may need land-manager, county, or town approval; separate event permits from each rider’s registration and pass.

Wisconsin guided ATV trips may need land-manager approval, while registration, trail passes and rider safety rules remain separate checks.

Wisconsin ATV and UTV use on private land can avoid public trail permits, but permission, land status and safety rules still matter.

A Wisconsin club membership does not automatically replace a required trail pass; check registration, machine eligibility, and pass coverage before riding.
