BARRON COUNTY -- Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald is asking if anyone has information regarding those responsible for farmland damaged in Barron County, according to a press release from the Barron County Sheriff's Office.
Press Release
On 08/13/2021, the Barron County Sheriff’s Department received a report of farmland that had been damaged as a result of a vehicle driving off of the ATV trail and recklessly through a field.
The damaged field was just west of the Barron County ATV intensive use area which is one of the most heavily traveled ATV trails in Barron County.
We have wonderful landowners in Barron County, without their support and generous use of their land we will no longer continue to enjoy our excellent ATV trails.
If anyone has information regarding the subject(s) responsible for this damage please call the Barron County Dispatch Center at 715-537-3106.
Over the past year we have seen a significant increase in traffic on our ATV trails, and with that increase a rise in complaints involving ATV use. Aggressive driving, failure to comply with regulatory signs, operation without a valid ATV safety certification are among the most common violations we are seeing. Additionally our Clubs, consisting of hard working volunteers, have seen a large increase in garbage being disposed of along the trail system.
