Safety Course Information:
Wisconsin has mandatory safety education for anyone riding a public trail. The requirement for thiscertification is:
Anyone who is at least 12 years old and anyone born on or after January 1, 1988. These ATVoperators must carry their safety certification card and they must display it to law enforcement officerswhen requested.
Exception: In 2013, the Wisconsin ATV Association helped pass legislation to exempt the mandatorysafety education rule during an organized demonstration ride. The VIP falls under this type of eventso participants do not need to have any ATV safety certificate.
A brief introductory safety course will be conducted on site for those that do not know how to ride.This is not the same DNR safety course mentioned above.
