Wisconsin's snowmobile laws can change from year to year and it is your responsibility to keep informed of those changes. Before the snow flies, download the latest copy of Wisconsin's Snowmobile Laws and review them before you head out on the trails this season.
Snowmobile Safety Classes
Classes hosted by Waukesha County Snowmobile Association member clubs
Do you know if you were born after January 1, 1985 and are at least 12 years old, you are required to have a snowmobile safety certificate in order to operate a snowmobile on public trails and areas in Wisconsin.
The Waukesha County Snowmobile Association believes it is important for all snowmobilers, especially young snowmobilers, to understand Wisconsin snowmobile rules and regulations, proper trail etiquette and responsible snowmobile ownership. Many of Waukesha County's snowmobile clubs provide snowmobile safety classes each year to anyone interested in obtaining their safety certificate for a nominal fee.
All students are required to have a DNR Customer ID number prior to attending their first classes. If you have purchased a DNR license of any kind you already have been assigned a customer ID. If not, please visit Wisconsin's Go Wild site to create a new customer account.
Upon successful completion of the course and passing the multiple-choice test, you will receive your snowmobile safety certificate. This certificate must be carried with you at all times while operating a snowmobile.
