TRAILS THAT REQUIRE A STATE TRAIL PASS
A state trail pass is required on specific trails that allow biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and inline skating. These trails are in state parks, forests, recreation areas and stand-alone state trails. Signs are posted at trailheads on the trails that require a state trail pass. County and local trails in Wisconsin may have their own fees, and state trail passes are not valid for those trails.
Please note that all motor vehicles stopping in state parks, forests, and recreation areas are required to have a vehicle admission pass.
