DNR against new ATV trails in Northern Highland-Am

More ATV's Article

Department of Natural Resources officials plan to present their recommendations for new all-terrain vehicle trails in northern Wisconsin next week.

And that recommendation is that new ATV trails should not be constructed in the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest.

The DNR has been studying potential new ATV trails that would run through Vilas, Oneida and Iron counties for more than two years.

After hundreds of hours of research and thousands of letters from area residents, DNR officials say the plan doesn't provide a cost-effective trail development plan that is sustainable and meets rider expectations. Researchers say they also faced opposition from residents and many ecological concerns.

The DNR will present their recommendations to the Natural Resources Board on Wednesday. The board will then make the decision whether or not to go ahead with construction of the trails.
