The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

Age 10 years and less than 12 years of age may operate under a parent or guardian's direct control. No person under 10 years of age may operate a snowmobile.
Illinois winters are very unpredictable and when we receive enough snow for snowmobiling everyone is anxious to ride. Besides teaching basic safety principles, the course attempts to develop the proper attitude of respect for others and the environment. The development of this respect and correct safety procedures are essential if snowmobiling is to continue to grow and give hours of enjoyment as a leisure time recreational activity in Illinois.
Visit the Illinois Department of Natural Resources online for more information about Snowmobile Safety Education.
