Vilas County Visitor Guide - 2019

GET THE MAP IT VILAS COUNTY TRAILS APP
The free Map It Vilas County trails app is your key
to discovering Vilas County’s trails. Here’s a quick
guide to the app.
Where to Ride
1. BEFORE YOU GO: Download the Map It Vilas County
trails app at trails.vilas.org. The app is free and versions
are available for Apple and Android devices.
2. START DREAMING. The perfect trail is out there:
use the app to find it. The app will show you all the
public trails; the filters will help you zero in on one
to explore. Select as many or as few options as you
like; selecting more options will help you find just
the right trail. For example, you can find hiking trails
in Presque Isle that allow dogs, bike trails in Boulder
Junction that are equipped with free repair stations
and the snowmobile trails in Eagle River.
3. MAKE IT HAPPEN! Use the app’s “Trail Information”
section to find a trailhead and parking and see a helpful
description of the trail. Once you’re on the trail, use
the “Interactive Map” section to stay on the right path.
A dot on the map will indicate your position—if you’re
wondering how far you are from your car or campsite
or if there’s a lake around the bend, just look at the
app! The app will even display a trail map when
there’s no cell service available.
4. ENJOY. While the app is rich with trail details, the biggest
benefit is what you’ll find off your device—an unforgettable
wilderness experience. You’ll be able to navigate the
backcountry like a local and find the beautiful hidden
spots that make Vilas County trails so special.
Vilas County has miles of marked ATV/UTV routes,
including some easy-riding routes and trails in Conover,
Phelps, Land O’ Lakes, St. Germain, Eagle River and
Arbor Vitae. These routes, usually open from early May
to the end of October, connect to other area trails and
routes to the east and west. The routes and trails are all
clearly marked, so you’ll have no trouble getting around.
