Shared trails count as public riding corridors

Public all-terrain vehicle corridors include trails, routes, hybrid trails, and other established corridors open to the public. A hybrid trail combines an all-terrain vehicle trail and route, letting off-road vehicles and motor vehicles share the same surface. It must connect an all-terrain vehicle trail to another trail or to services.

Wisconsin defines which off-road vehicles qualify

Out-of-state vehicles count as all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) or utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) only when they meet Wisconsin’s definitions. The other state’s registration label does not control. Qualifying vehicles must follow Wisconsin’s applicable ATV or UTV rules. Owners or operators cannot get a nonresident trail pass for a vehicle that meets neither definition. State vehicle laws also use Wisconsin’s UTV definition, but exclude UTVs from the general meaning of “vehicle” unless specifically stated otherwise.
