Plan & Play, BOULDER: Where to ATV & UTV

April 28, 2026

Navigating a new area can be confusing, let us help! Here are some tips to follow when you are riding your ATV or UTV in Boulder Junction and surrounding communities.

• Stay on MARKED routes. It is illegal to ride on private property and other unmarked areas.
  • Trails (off road) will be marked with 6″x 6″ brown signage with a white ATV silhouette and orange diamond signs. Both must be present to use the trail with an ATV or UTV.
  • Routes (public roadways) will be marked with 24″ x 18″ green signs with white ATV silhouette and directional arrows.
  • Some trails are designated multi-use trails so be cautious of others (dual-sport, equestrian, and bicyclists).
• Currently only road routes (designated County Highways) are open in Boulder Junction.
  • Surrounding communities (St. Germain, Arbor Vitae, Mercer, Land O’ Lakes) all have trails accessible via our road routes.
  • All Boulder Junction town roads are marked with signs indicating no ATV/UTV use.
• When legally operating on a roadway you cannot pass other motor vehicles or an ATV/UTV unless they are parked and you cannot have passengers riding outside of designated seats.
• When legally operating on a roadway you must:
  • use hand signals when turning or stopping
  • operate on the extreme right side of the road
  • remain single file
  • have headlights and taillights on
  • all children ages 12-15 must be accompanied by an adult

Each community is different and it is best to familiarize yourself with that area prior to your trip. More on ATV & UTV regulations can be found here, by visiting the Chamber office, or the DNR website.
