The AWSC is dedicated to the success of Wisconsin snowmobiling and is continually working for safe and responsible recreational snowmobiling throughout the state. This is why it is important to join a club. Trails are established and maintained by volunteers who are members of these clubs. Snowmobile clubs provide us with the trails we ride on. We have 421 milesof funded trails in Oconto County. This means part of the funding to set up and maintain these trails comes from snowmobile registration fees and gas tax refunds which goes into the snowmobile program. We also have 100 plus miles of club trails, which means the clubs maintain them through their own membership dues and fund raisers. Without these clubs, there would be no trails. Memberships are made up of snowmobilers like you and I, who become the volunteers that:
* Talk to Landowners * Plan the layout for trails
* Pound in stakes * Install gates
* Put up trail signs * Brush trails
* Get grants for projects * Put in bridges
* Groom trails * Work out trail problems
* Remove signs in spring * Close and open gates in spring & fall
* Hold safety classes * Provide landowner appreciation functions
* Plus countless hours of administrative work to receive our funding
LANDOWNERS AND SNOWMOBILERS WORKING TOGETHER
Wisconsin Snowmobilers are proud of the statewide trail system that ranks among the best in the nation. This trail system would not be possible without the generosity of the thousands of landowners here in Wisconsin. Snowmobile club members work closely with their landowners in the placement of the trails. This cooperation results in the promotion of safe and responsible snowmobiling. Under Wisconsin State Law, Section 350.19 and 895.52 landowners are not liable for injury or damage on their property when they have granted permission for snowmobiling. HELP KEEP LANDOWNERS HAPPY
