As of June, 2009, a limited number of Townships in Pierce County have approved the year-round use of ATVs on town roads as detailed below. ATVs are NOT permitted on any US highways (e.g., US 10 or US 63), Wisconsin State highways (e.g., Hwy 29, Hwy 72, or Hwy 128), or Pierce County highways (e.g., Cty B, Cty C, Cty P, etc).
ATVs are also NOT permitted on township roads which have not been signed as designated ATV Routes.
Please observe these restrictions or the priviledge to ride on these roads will be revoked.
A downloadable map of the ATV Routes and trails in NE Pierce County (~750KB) is now available. The map was last updated on 18 May 2010. As more routes and trails are finalized the PCAA will be working on getting a printed map distributed and available through our business sponsors around the county.
In Ellsworth Township ATVs are permitted on all town roads, excluding dead-ends and
driveways.
Parking for tow vehicles and trailers is available at the T-Bar at the
intersection of Hwy 10, 610th St, and 400th Ave. Additional parking is also available
in East Ellsworth on the east side of the junction of Wall St, Railroad Ave, and
Morse St.
As of May 12, 2010, Gilman township has approved ATV Routes on all town
roads.
Note that there is currently no way to get to the Red Barn from the intersection of 490th St and Highway 63 in Gilman township. The PCAA is working with landowners to open a trail in this area but until this happens riders using the ditch along Hwy 63 are doing so illegally and are seriously jeopardizing the chances of it ever happening.
The Martell Town Board has approved the use of ATVs on all town roads, excluding
dead-ends and driveways.
Note that there is currently no way to get to the Lawton Bar from the intersection of 570th St and Highway 63 in Martell township.

dead-ends have not yet been signed and are not open to ATV travel until they are

Spring Valley residents should contact the Village Board if they would like to have their road signed as an ATV Route.
