ATV, Boat, and Snowmobile
The Bayfield County Sheriff's Office, local Law Enforcement Officers, Wisconsin DNR, and Federal Agencies enforce laws involving recreational vehicles. Safety and education is the goal.

- Wear a helmet.
- Slow down. Speed Kills.
- Take a safety course.
- Be familiar with the laws. ATV, Boat, and Snowmobile Regulations are available at the Wisconsin DNR Website.
