Are you a winter sports enthusiast?

- ice fishing
- snowshoeing
- dog sledding
- and more
Help take care of our lands for your own safety and so others can enjoy the area after you leave.
- Don't Litter
- Use the correct type of winter sports equipment permitted in that area
- Stay out of areas which have been declared "off limits"
Safety While Enjoying Winter Sports:
- Dress appropriately for your sport and for the climate.
- Be mindful of the hazards that cold weather can present
- Do not feed the local wildlife
Keep your distance from wild animals - bison are faster than they look, killing a few careless souls each year - Be courteous - you are sharing recreation areas with others
- Don't go into unauthorized areas
- Bring along extra safety items such as water, flashlights, maps, and a cellphone or radio
