BLM Utah RFO Motorized Trails Project Grant Opportunity

Objective:
1. The partner and BLM will continue to provide monitoring, education, and maintenance on over 150 miles of motorized and Paiute ATV trail on public lands, provide upkeep on kiosks and trailheads, litter removal and to provide a quality experience for thousands of recreational visitors. Areas to be maintained include recreation areas and trailheads associated with the motorized trails. Otter Creek trail access including Fishermans Beach, Tamarisk Point, and South Point. Sauls Meadow, Kingston Canyon, Aurora Open Area, Glenwood Open Area, Bicknelll Bottoms Trailheads, Koosharem Reservoir, and other recreation areas and trailheads along the trails will be maintained. Work would also include public outreach and education, trail work, maintenance, sign installation and maintenance, clearing, improving, and additional work and special projects as needed along the motorized trails on public land connecting communities, state parks, and trailheads. This would ensure a well-marked, signed, and maintained long-distance trail system with adequate support facilities that are open to the general public for recreational motorized vehicle use that is free from conflict with other land users and land owners. Trails would help provide protection for natural resources, respect public and private property, promote responsible use of OHVs and provide an economic boost for surrounding communities.
2. Continue to develop and build the ongoing, long-term, and effective partnership between BLM, local, state and federal agencies, and other interested and affected parties through the implementation of a shared vision.
