Future of off-road park unknown after forest committee votes down land use changes

CRANDON - The future of a four-phased, 10,000 acre off-road vehicle park in Forest County is unknown after a Forest County Forestry Committee vote Tuesday night. The park would offer trails and others things for ATVs, UTVs and other off-road vehicles.

The Forest County Forestry Committee was voting on whether send a modified 15-year comprehensive land use plan to accommodate an off-road vehicle park to the full county board. That had originally contained detailed information regarding the specific plan from Wisconsin Off-Road Vehicle Park Inc. (WORVPI) until all WORVPI related details were removed in May.

The land use plan would need to be changed to build any kind of off-road park on county land. However the committee voted 4-2 against the changes in front of a packed Forest County board room. The majority of people giving public comment at the meeting were against the land use change.
