Cheese Country Trail is Open
3-30-24
The Green County ATV Club was established in 2003 to promote fun
and safe ATV riding for your outdoor enjoyment, and to provide instruction and
information so that all riders will respect our trail systems and all others
that use the trails. Another one of our club goals, is to help promote
economic development in the City of Monroe, and all of the Green County Area,
for riders to enjoy the beautiful scenery and local businesses, as the Cheese
Country Trail is a premiere riding experience in the Tri-State area. We are located in Green County in the state
line area in southern Wisconsin, on the east end of the Cheese Country Trail
System· The trail is 48 miles long, on a scenic, groomed, abandoned rail bed, from
Monroe to Mineral Point. In Lafayette County, just before Calamine, at the Y,
you can continue on to Mineral Point or take the 10 mile trip to Belmont from
the Cheese Country Trail system. Riders can, also, enjoy the many miles of road
routes, exiting off the Cheese Country Trail system, in Lafayette County.
Club has worked, with
the City of Monroe, to establish routes to the local motels, fuel stations,
restaurants, bar & grills, fast food places, ATV/UTV repair/parts, and
other supplies. Another City route leads
to a large parking lot just one block South of the Historic Downtown Square,
where you will find many more restaurants, bar & grills, a deli and confection
shop with tasty ice cream and much more. You can continue on that City route to the Green County Fair Grounds for
your camping enjoyment with a convenience store with fuel nearby.
Our club is responsible for
maintaining 10 miles of the Eastern part of the Cheese Country Trail which is
located in Green County, which includes trimming grass, brush, and trees, tree
removal, placing of trail signs and grooming the trail bed. Occasionally, we offer ATV safety courses, to teach safety and DNR certify
ATV riders, that were born after January 1, 1988
