Comments still needed on ATVs

---

ISLAND PARK - The Ashton/Island Park Ranger District still seek public input on motorized recreation and its impact on the area's natural resources and roads.

Most of the motorized travel routes on the Ashton/Island Park Ranger District are designated routes only, except for Areas "F" and "D" on the Travel Maps. These are open to summer crosscountry motorized travel. The Forest Service needs your feedback and suggestions regarding these questions:

What Areas F and D do you use and what activities (motorized or non-motorized) do you participate in?

If it is possible, how should existing Area F and D be modified to provide a safe motorized and or non-motorized trail system while not exceeding motorized route densities?

Should certain county maintained roads allow OHV use (dual use)?

Is it possible to develop viable loop trails for motorized use - and where should they be located?

What other considerations should we include?
