Ride safely - Wisconsin Department of Tourism

Dive deeper into the forest on trails
that crisscross inside the outer loop and
you’ll find some challenging terrain. Some
trails get progressively more difficult and
rockier, so use caution. Virtually every part
of the park is open for exploration. You
can test your rock or hill climbing skills,
splash through some water-filled areas,
and get down and dirty in some mud.
During the summer, the Marathon
Off-Road ATV Club holds at least three
motocross races at the park. If you’re interested,
call Bill Bell at 715/355-6120, ext.
123 or Randy Curtis at 715/675-6330; or
log on to www.motobill.com. Regardless
of the schedule, you might catch some racers
practicing their skills anytime in the
park. Because the park’s popularity continues
to increase, it’s important to be cautious
as you ride.
The park is funded by annual grants
from the Wisconsin DNR derived from state
ATV registrations. The Village of Tigerton
administers the park. The nominal fees
charged riders fund trail maintenance and
improvements. Fees can be paid at the
kiosk near the entrance or in the main
building, which is often staffed during the
busy times of the year.
When winter arrives, the park remains
open. Many of the trails are groomed and
some are shared by snowmobiles. Riders
can warm up in the main building that
remains open 24/7 November thru May 1st.
In addition to its Challenge Area and
trails, the park offers 37 campsites for
tents and RVs, many along the Embarrass
River. There’s even a family camping area
for larger groups. Electrical hook-ups are
available and a new shower and laundry
facility bring all the comforts of home right
to your campsite. An RV dump station,
potable water and firewood are also available.
After a day’s ride, you can rinse off
your quad in the wash bay. If you need
food or fuel, a trail heads out of the park
south to Hwy 45, then north into Tigerton.
The winding Embarrass River cuts
through the park near the Challenge Area.
The river holds a native population of trout
and is popular with canoeists. If you’re
feeling particularly lucky, Mohican North
Star Casino & Bingo (800/775-2274,
www.mohicannorthstar.com) is located in
Bowler, just twelve miles north. They offer
slots, blackjack, roulette, craps, poker and
bingo.
When you want to ride a welldesigned
ATV park, come to Tigerton. It’s a
shining example of “If you build it, they
will come.”
