Goin up to Ashland,WI next week and was wondering if there were any good places to ride that are close by and are legal.

Good luck, its ATV madness up there!  Went up last fall, saw a couple dirtbikes around, they were probably riding illegally.  Used to hear of people riding in Iron River.  Put training wheels on your bike and call it a quad...Or, do what I did and bring a mountain bike and ride in Chequamegon.

I think Wi has about 4000 miles of public ATV trail and maybe a couple hundred where you can legally ride a dirtbike?  And about 50 miles of decent singletrack total.  I think there's lots of "unofficial" riding that goes on as a result, too.

_{50 miles of singletrack is prolly quite a bit on the high side. Duracuse is the only place I know of for MX bikes. The other trails require a plated bike.}

Actually you can ride Black River Falls and Knobby ridge without a plate, but yes - that might be the only singletrack in the state ?!?!
