Wild Rivers Trail
Unlike most of the other ATV trails through Washburn County, the Wild Rivers Trail is open year-round. Forty miles of the trail passes north to south on old Chicago and Northwestern Railway grade. On its way, the trail goes through the communities of Spooner, Trego, Lampson and Minong, which offer gas stations and restroom facilities.

Stony Brook Trail
The 21-mile Stony Brook Trail branches off from the Wild Rivers Trail south of Minong. It crosses Little Frog Creek, Hall Road and State Highway 77 before joining Wagonner and Wozny roads. The combined trail-road passes near the Totogatic Flowage before going into Sawyer County to link with ATV trails there. The trail is entirely on county forest land except for those places it uses existing roads. ATVs are restricted from using trails on country forest land from April 1 to Memorial Day weekend in May.
