SUMMARY:WISCONSIN FREE FUN WEEKEND
DESCRIPTION:Free state parks admission\n\nFor the first time\, vehicle admission fees to Wisconsin State Park System properties are waived for both June 7 and 8. Previously\, the state park system's longstanding free open house was only the first Sunday in June\; this year\, vehicle admission fees have been waived for both the first Saturday and Sunday in June. \n\nPeople who camp at state parks will still pay for their campsites and other events or programs on those two days may require a fee as well. \n\nFree fishing\n\nFree fishing on June 7 and 8 applies to all Wisconsin waters. No fishing license is needed to fish any waters -- this includes inland trout and Great Lakes trout and salmon fishing\, which normally would require a trout stamp in addition to a license. Fishing rules such as limits on the length and species of fish that can be kept do apply\, however. \n\nSo far\, more than two dozen free fishing clinics are scheduled across the state to help encourage people to try fishing. Check back as the free weekend gets closer as more are expected to be scheduled.\n\nFree loaner equipment is available at more than 50 locations\, including many state parks\, DNR offices\, and partner organizations\, according to Theresa Stabo\, DNR aquatic education director. People interested in borrowing gear should check for a loaner location near them or near where they will be fishing and arrange to get the equipment. \n\nFree state trails \n\nOn June 7 and 8\, all state trail pass fees on all DNR-owned state trails are waived. Cooperatively-run state trails also may waive fees. Normally\, a state trail pass is required for all people age 16 or older biking\, in-line skating\, horseback riding\, cross-country skiing or off-highway motorcycling on certain trails. A state trail pass is not required for walking or hiking.\n\nFree ATV riding on public trails open to such use\n\nFor the second year\, Wisconsin residents and nonresidents can ride their ATVs or UTVs on public trails for free on those two days. A law advanced by the Wisconsin ATV Association and passed in 2012 created the free weekend. \n\nNormally\, Wisconsin residents have to register their ATVs or UTVs with DNR for public use to operate on public trails\, or other areas open to the public like frozen water bodies. Nonresident riders normally have to buy a nonresident trail pass to ride on these areas in Wisconsin. On June 7 and 8\, the registration and trail pass fees are waived. All other ATV and UTV regulations apply during the weekend.\n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: on Free Fishing Weekend contact Theresa Stabo\, angler education\, 608-266-2272\; on ATVs\, Joanne Haas\, law enforcement public affairs manager\, 608-267-0798\; on state parks and trails\, Paul Holtan\, state parks\, forests\, trails and recreation public affairs manager\, 608-267-7517
