What
is travel planning?
Travel planning is an allocation process based on social and resource
concerns. The Caribou Forest has set restrictions on certain types
of travel since the early 1980s. Reasons for travel restrictions include:
reducing impacts to wintering wildlife, avoiding fragile soils, maintaining
municipal watersheds, ensuring user safety, and providing areas for
non-motorized use. Stock and foot traffic are rarely restricted. A
hiker can travel on most forest roads and trails. Motorized vehicles
may be restricted to designated routes and to seasons of the year
when the roads and trails are dry. Some trails are only single-track
trails, and ATV use is not recommended.
The Forest travel
plan map identifies how each travel route is managed, and the details
of access. It answers such questions as, “Can I take my motorcycle
on this trail? What time of year is this ATV trail open? Can I go
off the road, to park my truck and then ride my mountain bike to
that ridge line? Is this trail open to horses? Is this area open
to snow machines? A travel plan map identifies the allowed uses
for each area, road or trail.
