Wolf Pen Gap 2011 Project
The Ouachita National Forest proposes to formally designate a system of roads and trails for public use of motorized vehicles, including Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs), in the area known as Wolf Pen Gap in a manner consistent with the Travel Management Rule. An earlier attempt to do so was reversed on appeal, hence the need to revisit those designations. The project may include changes to the existing system of roads and trails, including changes in seasonality or type of use permitted, re-routing or re-location of some routes, consideration of new route proposals, and road and trail closures.
