Langlade County Policy
When used safely and wisely an all terrain vehicle (ATV) can provide a source of fun and family recreation. When used unwisely by an untrained, inexperienced operator, an all-terrain vehicle can be very, very dangerous. With safety in mind, an all-terrain vehicle can be a useful tool for work and a great means of exploring the outdoors.

• All-terrain vehicles (ATV's) are classified similar to any "motorized vehicle", such as a 4 x 4 truck, snowmobile, car, etc.
• Chains and studded tires are prohibited.
• The minimum forfeiture for ATV travel in our gated areas is $131.50.
• ATV's are not allowed on the Ice Age Hiking Trail. The trail can be recognized by yellow paint on the trees adjacent to the trail. ATV's are not authorized on snowmobile trails that cross the Wolf River Conservation Easement, in the Crocker Hills, regardless of temperature.

Summer Information
ATV's are allowed on any forest road or trail that is normally open to other vehicles, except on roads or trails that are gated, bunkered, or posted as closed.

Two ATV trails are now established. Both are signed and maps are available.

Langlade County Fishing Reports

With 841 natural lakes, 225 streams and 200 spring ponds, Langlade County provides unlimited fishing opportunities from pan fish to musky. Many of the lakes have public launch access. However, most County lakes are small (less than 100 acres) and are located in remote forest settings. The nearly 400 miles of trout streams support excellent populations of brook, brown and rainbow trout.

Eastern Langlade County is also home to one of the finest trout streams in the Midwest. The Wolf River offers excellent dry-fly fishing, especially in May and June, with good catches into autumn. The famed trout waters occur in a 40-mile section between Highway T, south to Highway M, and are divided into 10 public access points. This section of the river has a steep gradient creating numerous complex rapids and should only be navigated by experienced anglers. From Post Lake Dam to Highway T, the river is slow moving and is easy to float with a canoe. Anglers will find good populations of northern pike, walleye, bass and musky.

Langlade County has developed a sled dog trail opportunity on a county forest road. Interest in sled dog trails has centered on the Evergreen Forest Management Unit. The trail head is located on Fraley Road and a public parking area is developed along with a restroom facility.

Whether it be winter, spring, summer or fall,
we offer a two-hour horse-drawn sleigh/wagon ride through our picturesque woods.

Perfect for:
Birthdays
Reunions
Parades
Engagements
Weddings
Anniversaries
or any occasion that will be memorable for years to come!

All rides are by reservation and based on availability!
