The Sawyer County Snowmobile & ATV Alliance

Calling all Sawyer County snowmobile and ATV/UTV enthusiasts!

With several inquiring how to donate to their favorite riding destination we have set up this quick an easy way to donate!

There are always great costs that come with great trails. These costs include loads of gravel to fix or to add new trails, lumber to build bridges on trails and ramps onto lakes, fuel for trail equipment from chainsaws and pole saws to large/heavy grooming equipment and the wear and tear they endure. There is no emergency funding or storm damage funding offered from the state so when big winter or summer storms hit the area, cleanup costs can eat up a huge portion of our funding. An example is the December 2022 storm that created expenses of approximately $300,000 that were put into our storm cleanup. Many who have been unable to assist with actual trail work have made monetary contributions which are always welcome! So, if you feel the desire to generously give to your favorite riding destination, no matter how small or large it is greatly appreciated! Donations by cash and check can also always be collected at your favorite trail businesses as well as checks mailed to Sawyer County Alliance PO Box 163 Hayward, WI 54843. Thank you!!!

The Sawyer County Snowmobile and ATV Alliance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation made up of 10 individual snowmobile and ATV clubs located throughout Sawyer County, Wisconsin. The purpose is to develop and maintain trails throughout the County and often in parts of surrounding counties.

The Sawyer County Snowmobile & ATV Alliance is the world’s largest single owner of trail grooming equipment. We build, maintain and groom over 600 miles of beautiful trails within the County. This is all done by volunteers who love the outdoors and encourage family outings on our trails.

Come to Sawyer County and let us show you why so many visitors return year after year to our area. We are proud of the job we do. Sawyer County is the place to be year round. Check out this video, Tales from the Trails, filmed by Discover Wisconsin. It features Sawyer County ATV/UTV trails as well as other trails in northern Wisconsin.

According to the readers of Snow Goer magazine, Wisconsin’s Northwoods is the best overall place in North America for Snowmobile trail riding and family snowmobiling. In addition to winning the Best Trail Area and Best Area Catering To Families categories, the Northwoods tied for second with the Yellowstone area in voting for Best Overall Snowmobiling Area!

Friends of the Alliance

Friends of the Alliance is a fundraising group for the Sawyer County Snowmobile & ATV Alliance. Sawyer County is a large county with hundreds of miles of trails to maintain and groom. Continuous grooming is required to keep those trails ready for ATV and snowmobile enthusiasts.

Last year funds were needed to deal with repairs to trails and equipment resulting from the huge snow storm that hit the area in December 2022. This past winter the lack of snow created another revenue loss. The Alliance depends on grooming snow trails to raise funds from the DNR which of course pays for necessary equipment, repairs and materials. (No snow = no trail grooming = no DNR reimbursement.) Following a successful 2023 raffle that brought in more than $28,000 to assist in trail repair after the huge 2022 winter storm, the Fundraising Committee has decided to do it again this year to offset some of that lost revenue. In addition to the 20 firearms valued at $13,000, another 20 prizes worth an additional $4,000 will be given away for a total of 40 winners this year!

To make a donation, send a check payable to “Sawyer County Alliance” to PO Box 163, Hayward, WI 54843.
