Activity

Did you know that you can now access 130+ miles of routes and trails by ATV/UTV from Phelps? From May to October, town roads and county roads are open to registered Off Road Vehicles, giving you just one more way to get out and enjoy the great outdoors in Vilas County!

ATV routes and trails connect the communities of Phelps, Eagle River, Conover, Land O’ Lakes, Lincoln and Washington to Forest and Oneida Counties, where more off road fun awaits you. These routes also connect to the trails of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Thank you to the Landover ATV/UTV Club!

It is only with the dedication of the Landover ATV club that the Phelps area is accessibly by off road vehicles. The club has worked hard to open up these routes, mark the trails and preferred routes, and keep them well maintained. In return, the Club asks all ORV riders to remember to follow all the rules so that this motorized sport remains available in our area.

And they aren’t done bringing the fun yet! The Club also has an off-highway motorcycle trail and course for dual sport cycling!

Also be sure to download the Vilas County Map It app on your smartphone to see all trail maps and track your location even with no service!
