The Florence County trail system offers trailside lodging and dining opportunities as well as friendly pit stops that supply food, drink and gas. Riders take short hikes to see waterfalls, several scenic overlooks, campgrounds, lakes, beaches and parks.
Florence County also offers a 17-acre ATV park located on the south side of Fisher Lake in the Town of Florence. This course was designed for riders who want to go off trail to “rip it up” in the dirt and mud.
ATV/UTV operation is allowed on designated trails and routes that are marked with state approved brown and white 6”x 6” ATV trail signs. Townships throughout the county have also designated road routes which are marked with signs providing additional access points to businesses and the local trail system. You can ride the trails all winter when the temperature is below 28 F.
Our trails do close during the spring “Break-Up” season for a few weeks to prevent erosion of the trail base. Trail closures are always posted on our website
www.ExploreFlorenceCounty.com as well as on our Florence County Facebook page.
