The Juneau County Forest is one of 29 County Forests in the County Forest System. These lands are located in central and northern Wisconsin and total approximately 2,354,000 acres. County Forests are "working forests" managed for a multitude of benefits including:
The Juneau County Forest encompasses approximately 27,000 acres of public land, generally located in the Northern half of the county. The Juneau County Forest consists of a variety of forest types including:
The entire Juneau County Forest is open for regulated hunting with the exception of designated areas that are developed for high public use, such as Kennedy Park, Castle Rock Park and a part of Wilderness Park. Temporary hunting stands are permissible but must be removed from the forest after use. The use of nails, lag screws, screw steps, or other damaging devices is not permitted. No permanent type structures shall be permitted. All Juneau County Forest lands are open for public use and for foot travel. ATV use on county owned land is prohibited. In addition to the town and county roads that access the forest the county also maintains 5.59 miles of County Forest roads. A number of gated or bermed special use trails and roads are also available. Access management remains a controversial issue on the Forest. Both motorized and non-motorized recreation are provided for within the Forest. See Chapter 700 for detailed discussion on Forest access. |
