Trails are maintained by local snowmobile clubs in cooperation with counties and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The Florence Ranger District, in cooperation with private clubs, state and county agencies, provides many miles of trails for snowmobile use. They may be old logging roads, abandoned railroad grades or logging trails made by the Forest Service or others for other purposes. These trails wind through hardwood forests, pine plantations and frozen wetlands. Snowmobiles are subject to the following restrictions in the Nicolet National Forest: Snowmobiles may be used only on unplowed forest roads and on designated snowmobile trails and then only after there is four inches of non compacted snow on the ground. Snowmobiles are prohibited roads and trails signed as closed. Cross country snowmobile travel is prohibited. All motor vehicles are prohibited in the Whisker Lake Wilderness, the Perch Lake and Lauterman Lake areas. In addition snowmobilers should be aware that there is a large amount of privately held land within the forest boundaries.   Northeast Wisconsin Trails The Northeast Wisconsin Winter Recreation Map covering the eight northeast counties is also available from Wild Rivers Interpretive Center.   You may send comments about this site to info@florencewisconsin.com Web Organization of Florence • 4793 Forestry Drive • Florence, WI 54121 © Web Organization of Florence 2006
