Deschutes & Ochoco National Forests
Crooked River National Grassland

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

In accordance with the Travel Management Rule the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and the Crooked River National Grassland propose to prohibit motorized travel outside of those existing designated routes (roads and trails) and areas - where it is not already restricted or prohibited by law, regulation, policy, order, Forest Plan direction, or site-specific decision.

The Proposed Action would not close any existing designated routes open for motorized use, although non-highway licensed vehicles are proposed to be prohibited from some roads based on safety concerns.

The designated routes and areas that will continue to be open to motorized use will be identified on the Deschutes and Ochoco National Forest and Crooked River National Grassland Proposed Action maps according to the season of use (time period when motorized use is allowed) and class of vehicle (highway licensed or non-highway licensed). These maps are available at Forest Service and Grassland offices, and on the Travel Management website.
