Trail Policy Issues:
State DNR Trails
Department
of Natural Resources Trails Policy - HHC
endorsed elements:
- Support the present policies of single-use trails
in place in most state facilities for all users.
- Allow Mountain Bike Use of state forest service
roads or other areas that can be properly machine-maintained.
Do not allow mountain bikes on hiking trails.
- Keep Off-Road Vehicles off trails, except for
the handicapped in special areas. Only paving could
protect forest trails from the erosive effects of
these vehicles. The new industry doublespeak name
for ORVs is "Off-Hiway Vehicles," to give a greater
semblance of legitimacy to the propaganda to give
them admittance to forest trails.
