Non-Resident Snowmobile Trail Pass        Get Trail Pass Here
Wisconsin law requires those who use Wisconsin snowmobile trails to display either Wisconsin registration or a snowmobile trail pass. Funds from this program will be designated for use as trail aids and related costs to enhance all Wisconsin snowmobile recreation.
The trail pass can be purchased online at our Online Licensing Center over the counter at any DNR authorized License Station or by phone at 1-877-945-4236
The $35.00 non-resident snowmobile trail use pass is valid from July 1st through June 30th.
A snowmobile trail pass is required to operate a snowmobile not currently registered in Wisconsin on a snowmobile trail.
The snowmobile must be currently registered with another jurisdiction.
The trail pass must be permanently affixed by its own adhesive to the bottom center portion of the snowmobile windshield. If there is no windshield, the sticker shall be displayed in a highly visible location on the front of the cowling of the snowmobile.
Once affixed, the sticker may not be removed or transfered to another snowmobile.

  
   Snowmobiles bearing Wisconsin registration are not required to have a non-resident trail pass, even if the owner is from out of state. A 2 year Wisconsin registration is $30, compared to 2 trail passes at $70. Due to the formula used to transfer gas tax revenue to the state snowmobile fund, about twice as much money is generated with a 2 year registration as is with 2 trail passes. The state snowmobile fund is where the money comes from for grooming and trail maintenance. By having Wisconsin registration instead of a trail pass, you save $40/yr and contribute more money to the state fund. It is perfectly legal to have Wisconsin registration on your snowmobile in addition to your home state's registration. You do not need a Wisconsin address; your home address can be used for a Wisconsin registration. Once you have a Wisconsin registration, it can be renewed online at the DNR website. Wisconsin registration applications can be obtained at any DNR office, at any dealer who sells snowmobiles in Wisconsin, and at many dealers out of state near the Wisconsin Stateline.
 

Snowmobiling and alcohol don't mix - don't drink and ride !

                 No more than   (55MPH)   Dusk to Dawn

Know before you go - always check local ice conditions !

Cross all roads with care - don't become road-kill !

One is the loneliest number - never ride alone !

Know the risks and be prepared - make every trip a round trip !

Ride smart ride right - stay in control, Always stay to the Right!

Smart Riders are Safe Riders -take snowmobile safety training !

Don't tailgate other Snowmobiles, Leave 150' between Sleds !

Pull over to the far right when stopping on a Trail !
