Oconto County Snowmobile Alliance
In December 1988, John Kranzusch, Director to the A.W.S.C. for Oconto County was instrumental in organizing the Alliance. It was felt that a group of clubs could accomplish more on the state and county level by banding together. At this time there are 9 clubs that work together to promote snowmobiling in Oconto County. They are:

• Paul Bunyan Riders – Lakewood

• Bagley & Brazeau – Pound

• Chase Sno Chasers – Chase

• Chute Pond – Mountain

• Lena Snowdrifters – Lena

• Red Arrow – Townsend

• Oconto Falls Snow Jokers – Oconto Falls

• Gillett Snow-Riders – Gillett

• Iron Snowshoe – Crivitz

Oconto County has 421 miles of state funded trails, plus 100 miles of Snowmobile Club Trails. All clubs in Oconto County are 100% members of the A.W.S.C. (Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs).

Wisconsin Snowmobile Statistics:
Over 25,000 miles of funded trails
Over 600 organized clubs
Over 220,000 registered snowmobiles
Provides a model for other states

The AWSC is dedicated to the success of Wisconsin snowmobiling and is continually working for safe and responsible recreational snowmobiling throughout the state. Trails are established and maintained by volunteers who are members of these clubs.

WHY BELONG TO A CLUB?
Snowmobile clubs provide the trails we ride on. We have 421 miles of funded trails in Oconto County. This means part of the funding to set up and maintain these trails comes from snowmobile registration fees and gas tax refunds which goes into the snowmobile program. We also have 100 plus miles of club trails, which means the clubs maintain them through their own membership dues and fund raisers. Without these clubs, there would be no trails. Memberships are made up of snowmobilers who become the volunteers that:

* Talk to Landowners                * Plan the layout for trails
* Pound in stakes                     * Install gates
* Put up trail signs               * Brush trails
* Get grants for projects       * Put in bridges
* Groom trails                        * Work out trail problems
* Remove signs in spring       * Close and open gates in spring & fall
* Hold safety classes               * Provide landowner appreciation functions
* Plus countless hours of administrative work to receive funding

LANDOWNERS AND SNOWMOBILERS WORKING TOGETHER
Wisconsin Snowmobilers are proud of the statewide trail system that ranks among the best in the nation. This trail system would not be possible without the generosity of the thousands of landowners here in Wisconsin.

Snowmobile club members work closely with their landowners in the placement of the trails. This cooperation results in the promotion of safe and responsible snowmobiling.

Under Wisconsin State Law, Section 350.19 and 895.52 landowners are not liable for injury or damage on their property when they have granted permission for snowmobiling.

HELP KEEP LANDOWNERS HAPPY
* Stay off the trails until they open
* Only travel on marked trails
* Obey all snowmobile trail signs
* Don’t cut corners.  Stay on trails
* Remember, if you leave a marked trails you are trespassing
* Stop at all stop signs
* Do not litter
* Respect the land & people
* Join a local club
