Oscoda, FL - All-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders in Iosco and Alcona Counties
could be enjoying 32 miles
of additional trails in the coming year, according to Gordon Haase of the U.S.
Forest Service.
The
Forest Service has developed a draft plan for implementing the new trails,
which involves converting fire and administration roads for use by ATVs and
other off-road vehicles no more than 50 inches in width.
The agency opened a 30-day public
comment period on the plan March 27.
Haase said the trail expansion proposal
is the result of requests by members of the ATV community seeking to reach
trailheads in areas where they can access services, such as restaurants or gas
pumps.
