Fishlake National Forest
OHV Route Designation Project
Final Environmental Impact Statement
Goal
The Fishlake Forest’s goal is to manage the use of OHVs in partnership
with other federal and state land management agencies, local governments, communities
and interest groups so as to protect public lands and resources while providing
opportunities for the safe use and enjoyment of OHVs on designated roads, trails,
and designated open areas.
Selected Alternative
The selected alternative, Alternative 5 as modified, designates a system of routes and areas, on the Fishlake National Forest, that are open to motorized use. Routes and areas open to motorized use will be displayed on a Motor Vehicle Use Map. Unrestricted off-route travel by wheeled off-highway vehicles (OHVs) will no longer be allowed. The forest will continue to be open to other forms of cross-country travel such as horseback, hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiles, although some over-snow restrictions have been added to protect critical deer winter range. Implementation of the new motorized travel plan will begin in 2007.
Notice of Intent (NOI)
The Notice of Intent outlines the project scope and alternatives and decisions to be evaluated in the Environmental Impact Statement.
For your convenience the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Fishlake National Forest Off-Highway Vehicle Route Designation Project has been broken up into chapters.
The maps display the existing route inventory and proposed alternatives to the existing Forest travel plan. Check back frequently for updates.
