The Bureau of Land
Management Cody Field
Office will host a workshop
Thursday, April 15, from 4
to 7 p.m. at the Lovell Com-
munity Center to discuss
implementation of the Lit-
tle Mountain Travel Man-
agement Plan.
Recreational use in the
Little Mountain area near
Lovell has increased over
the past few years, making
the designation of off-high-
way vehicle (OHV) routes
critical to effectively man-
aging the area for a wide
variety of activities includ-
ing horseback riding, hik-
ing, mountain biking, hunt-
ing, fishing, caving and
sightseeing, according to a
BLM press release.
A Travel Management
Plan for the Little Moun-
tain area was developed
by the Cody Field Office in
2005 and 2006. Public input
was sought from 2004 to
2006 through public meet-
ings and comment periods,
according to the release.
The workshop will pro-
vide an opportunity for the
public and the BLM to dis-
cuss how and why the Little
Mountain Travel Manage-
ment Plan will be imple-
mented. The initial phase
of implementation has been
characterized by public ed-
ucation, and information
is available at key access
points throughout the Little
Mountain area. The Little
Mountain Travel Manage-
ment Map can be download-
ed at http://www.blm.gov/
wy/st/en/field_office s/Cody/
rec.html.
For the majority of
the Little Mountain area,
OHVs are limited to des-
ignated roads and trails.
New signs and markers
identify which routes are
open to vehicle use, which
routes are closed, and
which routes are too nar-
row for full-sized vehicles
to use and are therefore
suitable for ATV use only.
Cottonwood Creek Trail,
Pete's Canyon Trail, and
the old roadbed beyond the
Five Springs Falls Camp-
ground are closed to motor-
ized use. A seasonal closure
in the high country will be
in effect from December 1
to April 30 each year.
The Little Mountain
area consists of 69,044
acres of BLM-administered
public land located in Big
Horn County, north of U.S.
Highway Alternate 14,
south of the Crow Indian
Reservation and the Mon-
tana state line, east of the
Bighorn Canyon National
Recreation Area, and west
of the Bighorn National
Forest.
