Burnett County Trails 2012
All Winter ATV/Snowmobile Trails are CLOSED
The winter riding season begins December 1st. However - all Burnett County Winter Trails will remain closed until December 10 due to an Antlerless Deer Hunt. At that time, they will open for use once we have a 4? groomed snow base, (as shown on the winter use map).
If we do not have snow and the ground is frozen, the Frozen Ground ATV Trails will be open.
NO OFF TRAIL USE IS ALLOWED AND OPERATION ON PRIVATE LANDS IS ILLEGAL UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE PRIVATE LANDOWNER.
Some township ordinances allow for ATV/UTV use of the town roads during the winter months, and others do NOT allow it. It is the rider?s responsibility to contact the township in which you plan to ride in and get the current rules pertaining to ATVs/UTVs and the town roads. Please contact the individual townships for their rules and regulations.
Remember that it is illegal to ride your ATV/UTV on the Gandy Dancer Trail in Burnett County south of highway 77 at any time.
It is your responsibility to know where you are and whose property you are on. Please be careful, be respectful to other trail users, and ride safely.
***THE BRIDGE OVER THE ST. CROIX RIVER ON THE GANDY DANCER TRAIL WILL REMAIN CLOSED TO VEHICLES OVER 5,000 LBS. GVW UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***
PLEASE NOTE: On July 1st, 2011, over 76,000 acres in Burnett County were severely damaged in a wind storm resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of trees. There continues to be numerous loggers clearing trees from not only our county forest, but also from state land and private lands, sometimes crossing or using our trails with their equipment.
Please continue to watch for new dead falls and branches throughout the 2012-2013 riding seasons.
