New Regulations For Off-Road Vehicle Use At Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area Implements New Regulations For Off-Road Vehicle Use
The National Park Service has issued a new rule for Off Road Vehicle (ORV) use Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The rule prohibits the use of ORVs and street-legal all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) on approximately 24 miles of park roads. 388 miles of park roads remain within Glen Canyon with opportunities for a diverse collection of motorized and non-motorized recreation forms.
The new rule makes minor changes to the 2021 regulation that will result in improved management of motorized uses in the Orange Cliffs Special Management Unit, including:
- Prohibiting the use of ORVs and street-legal ATVs on an 8-mile segment of the Poison Spring Loop located on Route 633 proceeding north to Route 730.
- Eliminating the superintendent’s authority to potentially allow ORVs and street-legal ATVs on the upper portion of the Flint Trail.
In addition to these changes, the proposed rule also establishes stricter quiet hours for the Lone Rock Beach Play Area, identifies specific lake elevations where Accessible Shoreline Areas will be open or closed, and clarifies that motor vehicle use in all Accessible Shoreline Areas must be for the purpose of traveling from a road to the shoreline and back.
