Where our trails will be:
Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest is a Wisconsin state forest of more than 225,000 acres (910 km2) across Vilas, Oneida, and Iron counties in north-central Wisconsin. The state forest includes numerous lakes, rivers, and streams. The state forest supports a large variety of outdoor recreation activities including camping, hiking, snowmobiling, bicycling, boating, fishing, hunting, ATV/UTV riding and birdwatching. In addition to recreational activities, the state forest also hosts a number of research programs.
The Town of Boulder Junction is surrounded by the NHAL State Forest. The ATV/UTV trails in Boulder Junction will be primarily in the State Forest. The ATV/UTV trails will weave through trees, open fields and through the prettiest areas in the State. Some sections of trails will follow Town and County road "routes" which will allow riders to access the Town for amenities. Currently you can access Boulder Junction via the County Highways only.
We are currently in the process of working with the Wisconsin DNR on the process to obtain a trail system in the NHAL. The DNR process can take 9-18 months to complete and could be tedious and costly depending on what engineering features are needed to avoid sensitive areas such as swamps and marshes.
