AS OF THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 2019, ALL COUNTY ROADS IN IRON COUNTY ARE OPEN TO ATV/UTV TRAFFIC, with the exception of a section of J around the Mercer school that is not open due to safety concerns. This does not include state highways, such as 51, 2, 47, etc.
A Message from the Mercer Dusty Loons ATV Club Board of Directors:
There is a rumor going around that the Cash Raffle held last Saturday was fixed so that club members won most of the prizes. WHAT? Now, why would we do that! Why would we ruin our reputation? We did it fair and square. All of the tickets are collected and stored according to the Wisconsin Gaming Commission's rule and regulations. If anyone would like to see the tickets, please contact us. Many of our members support the club by buying raffle tickets. We encourage it. They are not excluded. They have just as much of a chance to win as anybody. The drawing was held in a public place in front of many people. This club relies on funding from raffles and other such fund raising events to help purchase and maintain equipment, signage and other club expenses. It would not be in our best interest to ruin the trust of this community by "fixing" a raffle. We are saddened that such a rumor exists, and we hope that the community will stand by our club.

Trail Report
Town of Mercer Roads
The Town of Mercer Board has approved all town roads open to ATV/UTV access except the following: Portage Avenue, Margaret Street between Library Street and County Highway J, and John Dul Road. This is a huge accomplishment for the ATV/UTV community in Mercer. Getting to the trails will now be easier. Thanks to all who supported this issue. Note that this only includes town roads and not county roads.
Please be respectful, watch your speed down residential roads and stay off of private property. We don't want to loose this privilege. Remember, the new bike trail in town is for non-motorized vehicles only. Please watch where you are going and keep to the gravel trail! We are continuously looking to improve our trail system. If you see a trail that needs maintenance, please let us know by emailing us at mercerdustyloons@hotmail.com. |
