How to Buy State Trail Passes
Biking season is upon us and, as a reminder, state trails require a trail pass for non-pedestrian traffic. Passes are required for all people age 16 or older. Wisconsin resident pass fees are $25/annual or $5/daily.
Fitchburg bikeways requiring a trail pass are Badger State Trail, Capital City State Trail and the Military Ridge State Trail. For a complete list of trails in Wisconsin requiring a state pass, click here.
What if I don’t have a state trail pass?
Trail users must purchase their state trail pass before using the trail. There is a $5 surcharge (in addition to the cost of the state trail pass) for anyone who fails to pay for a pass before using the trail. If a trail user refusers to buy a pass or self-register, a citation can be issued.
