Wisconsin Off-Highway Vehicle Association, Ltd. (WOHVA) exists for the betterment of society. WOHVA is dedicated to upholding the individual rights of citizens and to the continued use of public lands. WOHVA believes that public lands belong to the public and should be managed to benefit all members of society. WOHVA is striving to protect the rights and freedoms of society to access public lands. WOHVA believes with firm conviction in this right!

WOHVA is a noncommercial association of Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts organized for the promotion of interest in maintaining closer contact between individual members and the WOHVA Executive Committee, to promote cooperation, friendship, responsible conservation, ecology, and to proactively assure that public and private off-highway motorized vehicular recreational opportunities are expanded in Wisconsin for safe use by this and future generations. WOHVA works to preserve access to public and private lands through education stressing safety, ecology, TreadLightly!® principles, wise and responsible land management policies.

In August of 2007, the Sokaogon Mole Lake Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribal Council passed a Resolution which granted WOHVA exclusive access to Tribal lands for OHV recreational events! WOHVA is happy to announce that our Great Northern Trail Ride will held on the Mole Lake Indian Reservation on August 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th, 2008.

If you can only get out on the trail once this year, you’re gonna want to make this the event you attend! The Mole Lake Reservation is located in Forest County, Wisconsin (deep in the heart of the North Country). This land has never been open to public recreation and remains open only to special events.

The result is an area that few have ever seen and even fewer have been able to access with OHV’s!

Trails will be designed and created early in 2008. To state that "You can be one of the first OHV recreational users to explore the area" doesn’t start to do this opportunity justice. You’ll not only see the site of the controversial Exxon Mine, but you’ll view several private lakes and areas never before open to the public! Not to mention, you’ll be able to explore the area while negotiating trails that were specifically designed to challenge both your driving skills and the capability of your vehicle. Trails are available for 4-Wheel Drives, ATV’s and OHM’s. They range in difficulty from novice to extreme. There is quite simply, "Something for everyone" on the nearly 7000 acres of land.

Mark your calendars now and join us for this truly awesome event!
