Planning

Great American Outdoors Act

The Great American Outdoors Act, signed into law in August 2020, provides funding that will allow federal land managers to update and repair aging infrastructure, improve access to public lands, and enhance visitor experiences.  The Salmon-Challis plans to make the most of the funding it will receive to improve trails, roads, and recreation sites.

Travel Management Plan

Before you head down that trail, make sure your motorized vehicle is approved for that trail. The Forest Service manages over 150,000 miles of trails throughout the United States, but not all of these trails are open to all user types. Motorcycles, 4-wheelers, mountain bikes, and even horses are not allowed on each and every trail. Before you head out, know where you are going. Get a local Forest map to make sure you are on the right trail with the right piece of equipment. Assure that all users can enjoy their national forests by doing your part. “Know before you go.” This message is brought to you by the US Forest Service.  https://youtu.be/CBIK5OO19ec

Are you getting ready to enjoy riding your ATV, motorcycle or four wheeled drive on the roads and trails of the Salmon-Challis National Forest this summer? Do you have a copy of the new forest motor vehicle use map (MVUM) for the area you plan to visit?
