Recreation Management
Winter Recreation Sustainability Analysis (WRSA) - Deschutes National Forest
Increasing urbanization, population growth and demand for access to recreation have made providing opportunities for quality winter recreation a challenge on the Deschutes National Forest. With abundant snow, good access and outstanding scenery, the Deschutes is a popular winter recreation destination for residents of central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Visitors participate in a variety of traditional winter activities including downhill skiing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding and snow play. In addition, emerging activities such as snowmobile-assisted skiing (hybrid skiing), snowcross and kite skiing are becoming increasingly popular. The challenge for the Deschutes National Forest is to provide quality winter recreation opportunities that meet visitor needs and protect natural resources now and in the future.
Scenic Byway Management
The Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway on the Deschutes National Forest takes the Byway traveler to Central Oregon's high country and volcano wilderness. Visitors follow a journey of water as it flows through an alpine volcanic landscape. Views of water bodies and geological formations are everywhere, creating dynamic and unbelievable scenery. The Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway Corridor Management and Interpretive Plan provides the guidance for this important transportation corridor, which is vital to the communities of Bend, Sunriver, La Pine, and Crescent, Oregon.

CERCLA Management
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as Superfund, was enacted by Congress on December 11, 1980. This law created a tax on the chemical and petroleum industries and provided broad Federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the environment.
