All Town of Cottage Grove Roads UNLESS POSTED are designated as ATV/UTV Routes between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 pm. The Town shares jurisdiction over several area roads with either the Village of Cottage Grove, City of Madison or Village of McFarland, none of which have opened roads to ATV/UTV routes. Because of this, riders must pay attention to signage to be sure they are not entering prohibited areas. Please review the ATV/UTV Route Sign Map carefully.
