Motorized Vehicle Use on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

APPENDIX B 

FOREST PLAN DIRECTION 

AND 

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS 

Two separate Forest Plans guide the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. This Appendix presents 

current management direction from the Land and Resource Management Plans (LRMPs) for the Rogue 

River and Siskiyou National Forests. The first section of this Appendix includes pertinent management 

direction and Standards and Guidelines relating to motorized vehicle use and off-road vehicle (ORV) use. 

An additional section of this Appendix provides details of proposed Forest Plan Amendments, specific to 

the Action Alternatives and to the LRMPs for the two forests. 

CURRENT LRMP DIRECTION 

Forest Plan Direction Related to ORV Use 

Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

Land management direction is contained in the Land and Resource Management Plans (LRMPs) for the 

Rogue River National Forest (1990) and the Siskiyou National Forest (1989). The Record of Decision for 

Amendments to Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management Planning Documents Within the Range 

of the Northern Spotted Owl amended the Rogue River and Siskiyou National Forest LRMPs on May 20, 

1994. This amendment provided new goals, objectives, standards, and guidelines for resource 

management. It added several new land allocations, each with its own set of Standards and Guidelines. 

These land allocations overlay and merge with the allocations from the 1989 SNF and 1990 RRNF 

LRMPs. 

Late-Successional Reserves 

As a general guideline, non-silvicultural activities located inside Late-Successional Reserves that are 

neutral or beneficial to the creation and maintenance of late-successional habitat are allowed (ROD C-16). 

Dispersed recreation uses, including hunting and fishing, generally are consistent with the objectives of 

Late-Successional Reserves. Use adjustment measures such as education, use limitations, traffic control 

devices, or increased maintenance when dispersed and developed recreation practices retard or prevent 

attainment of Late-Successional Reserve objectives (ROD C-18). 

Riparian Reserves 

RM-2. Adjust dispersed and developed recreation practices that retard or prevent attainment of Aquatic 

Conservation Strategy objectives. Where adjustment measures such as education, use limitations, traffic 

control devices, increased maintenance, relocation of facilities, and/or specific site closures are not 

effective, eliminate the practice or occupancy (ROD C-34). 

Rogue River NF Land and Resource Management Plan 

From LRMP Page 4-24: Off-road vehicles (ORVs) are allowed in all areas of the Forest except where 

they are specifically restricted to designated roads, trails, or other areas where they are specifically not 

allowed. The following table shows the acres by type of ORV use:

Forest Plan Direction and Proposed Amendments 

Motorized Vehicle Use on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

Additional direction for off-road vehicle use is contained in LRMP Appendix C. It is 

included in this Appendix for reference. 

ROGUE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST 

OFF-ROAD VEHICLE MANAGEMENT PLAN 

Appendix C - LRMP

INTRODUCTION 

This appendix summarizes the direction found m the Forest Plan regarding the use of off-road vehicles 

(ORV’s) on the Rogue River National Forest and outlines the process used to further refine this direction 

in the future through Forest Plan implementation. As used in this appendix, the terms “off-highway” and 

“off-road’ are synonymous. 

Various laws, regulations, and Executive Orders recognize on-road and off-road uses as legitimate 

activities on National Forests. Executive Order 11644, as amended by Executive Order 11989, directs 

that the designation of off-road vehicle areas shall be based upon minimizing damage to soils, watersheds, 

vegetation, and other resources, and minimizing conflicts with other uses. 

Regulation 36 CFR 219 21 (d) requires that the Forest Service consider the impacts of proposed 

recreation activities on other uses and values and the impacts of other uses and activities associated with 

them on recreation opportunities, activities, and quality of experience. Off-road vehicle use is specifically 

addressed by 36 CFR 219 21 (g): 

Off-road vehicle use shall be planned and implemented to protect land and other resources, 

promote public safety, and minimize conflicts with other uses of the National Forest System 

lands. Forest planning shall evaluate the potential effects of vehicle use off-roads and, on the 

basis of the requirements of 36 CFR 295 of this chapter, classify areas and trails of National 

Forest System lands as to whether or not off-road vehicle use may be permitted. 

Forest Service Handbook 7709 55 (Transportation Planning) sets forth a process for “Access 

Management”. Under this process, “Access Management Objectives” are developed to accomplish the 

Management Area direction (Management Strategies) found in the Forest Plan. Road Management 

Objectives, defining the intended purpose of individual roads, and Off-Highway Travel Management 

Objectives, describing individual recreational experiences, are developed from the Access Management 

Objectives. This is an on-going process that is a part of Forest Plan Implementation and may occur 

through specific project planning, integrated resource management analysis, or at any time the need for 

review of existing Road or Access Management Objectives is warranted. 

CURRENT USE 

Currently, the greatest off-road vehicle uses on the Forest are the snowmobile trail systems m the Fish 

Lake Area and the Upper Rogue Area. Both trail systems make extensive use of Forest Service arterial 

and collector roads (See Jackson/Klamath winter trails map). 

Some of these roads are used occasionally for winter logging. Special coordination is necessary 

whenever such conflict occurs. The access and travel management process should address and resolve 

potential conflicts between winter logging and recreation use. Solutions may include such things as 

excluding winter hauling on some roads, excluding snowmobile use, various forms of joint use, or plans 

for by-pass routes.

TRAFFIC LAWS AND ORDERS 

State traffic laws have been made applicable to National Forest transportation system roads by order of 

the Chief of the Forest Service. These laws set minimum standards for vehicles to be operated on 

highways. They differ by State. As of the date of publication of this Forest Plan: 

Operating an off-road vehicle on a road open to traffic is prohibited in Oregon unless the route 

has been designated for use by off-road vehicles. With certain modifications, such as adding 

mirrors and stop lights, it is possible to make an off-road vehicle “highway legal ” However, the 

general effect of Oregon State law is to prohibit off-road vehicle use of Forest Service roads 

managed as open to traffic (Maintenance Levels 2-5). When such use is necessary to meet 

Access Management Objectives, the route should be designated by Forest order and signed 

accordingly on the ground. 

Operating an off-road vehicle on a road maintained for passenger car traffic is prohibited in 

California. However, it is legal to operate an off-road vehicle on a road maintained for high 

clearance vehicles. Therefore, off-road vehicles are prohibited on Forest Service roads managed 

in Maintenance Levels 3-5 while their use is permissible on roads managed in Maintenance 

Levels 1 and 2. 

In both States, when a road is covered by at least a foot of unplowed snow, it is legal to operate 

an oversnow vehicle on the road. Therefore, a closure order would be required to prohibit use. 

Orders of the Forest Supervisor are issued and enforced to implement management area direction defined 

in the management strategies and refined through Forest Plan implementation. In addition, orders may be 

issued to regulate special situations not specifically mentioned in the Management Area direction. As of 

the date of publication of this plan, orders of the Forest Supervisor regulating special off-road vehicle use 

situations have been issued with the following prohibitions:

SISKIYOU NATIONAL FOREST

OFF-ROAD VEHICLE MANAGEMENT PLAN 

Appendix E - LRMP 

The majority of the Siskiyou National Forest is available for off-road vehicle (ORV) use. The total area 

open to ORV use is approximately 828,800 acres, which includes some areas that are subject to temporary 

or seasonal closures. However, the actual area used is by ORV's is far less1. The nature of the terrain, 

vegetative cover, and resource management requirements place restraints on the amount of area that is 

actually suitable.

Permanent Yearlong Area Closures Affecting Off-Road Vehicle Use: 

 

Kalmiopsis Wilderness 179,850 

Wild Rogue Wilderness 26,7081

2 Siskiyou portion 

The other permanent yearlong closure areas include Research Natural Areas, Botanical Areas, and 

sensitive sites such as meadows. 

 

1 Travel Analysis conducted in 2008 determined that Management Prescriptions that allow cross-country motorized use include 

approximately 178,000 acres (Management Areas 6, 13, and 14). It was further estimated that approximately 5% (14,000 acres) 

or less actually receive cross-country use.

Motorized Vehicle Use on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

There are approximately 450 miles of trail on the Forest. Approximately 44 percent of the total trail 

system will be affected by some type of restriction. All Wilderness trail systems are closed to motorized 

use and bicycles. All or a portion of seven trails which traverse about 31 miles outside Wilderness are 

permanently closed to motorized use based on concerns for public safety, resource protection needs, and 

law.

INTRODUCTION 

The purpose of an ORV plan is to provide Forest Service managers with the framework to coordinate 

ORV use with other resource management objectives. A second purpose is to insure, over time, the 

continued availability of ORV recreation opportunities on the Forest. A third purpose is to provide public 

users of the Siskiyou National Forest with trip planning information. 

Executive Order 11644, as amended May 25, 1977, requires Federal land management agencies to adopt 

regulations to ensure that ORV use is controlled and directed to protect resources, promote safety of all 

users, and minimize conflicts among the various users of public land. Land and resource management 

planning direction requires that each National Forest establish locations where ORV use will be allowed, 

restricted to some degree, or prohibited. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) provides the authority 

and process to restrict motorized use on Federal land. In addition, the Kalmiopsis, Wild Rogue, Grassy 

Knob, Siskiyou, and Red Buttes Wildernesses have been closed to motorized use by National legislation. 

The review and analysis has been completed for the Siskiyou National Forest. This document is the result 

of the combined input from interested members of the public and Forest Service administrators. This 

Plan satisfies the requirements of 36 CFR 295 1. This Plan will be dynamic to meet changes in ORV use 

patterns and resource management situations. 

Prior to Executive Order 11 644, problems and conflicts relating to ORV use were resolved as they 

occurred. During the public involvement initiated as a result of the Executive Order, few new conflicts 

were identified and little dissatisfaction was expressed about the ORV regulations in effect on the Forest. 

Concerns identified during the public involvement process involved safety to hikers and horsemen, the 

noise level of motorized use, and providing opportunities for two, three, and four-wheel recreation 

vehicles Resource concerns identified on the Forest include water quality, soil stability, vegetative cover, 

deer and elk winter range, elk calving areas, and fragile environments. 

Additional use opportunities will be provided by the estimated 45 miles of trail to be constructed in the 

next 10 years which may be suitable for ORV use. Construction activities related to resource 

management may make available trailhead and parking areas for ORV use. Snow related ORV uses 

could be developed in suitable high mountain areas of the Illinois Valley Ranger District. 
Draft Supplemental EIS APPENDIX B Page B-10 

Forest Plan Direction and Proposed Amendments 

Motorized Vehicle Use on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

For much of the Forest, the heavily dissected ridge systems, which feature terrain steepness and dense 

vegetative cover, nearly precludes use by ORV's except on roads and trails. Use during the winter season 

by over-the-snow vehicles is also minor due to warm intense winter storms which result in poor snow 

conditions. However, the large blocks of serpentine-peridotite located on the south end of the Forest are 

far more conducive to ORV use. This landtype is relatively gentle, with slopes being less steep and more 

rounded, the vegetation more "open,' and the land surface more resistant to traffic impacts. Much of the 

present ORV use occurs in these areas. 

ORV OPPORTUNITIES 

ORV use is a part of the overall travel management planning for the Forest In some places this use 

coexists with other road and trail uses. The present trail system available for ORV use totals 171 miles. 

This represents 74 percent of the current trail system on the Forest outside of Wilderness areas. Within 

the next 10 years, there may be about 21 6 miles available for some form of ORV use. In addition, 

considerable area of the Forest has been allocated to Backcountry Recreation management (see Standards 

and Guidelines for Management Area 6 - Backcountry Recreation, in Chapter IV of the Land and 

Resource Management Plan). Some of these areas are specifically designed to accommodate motorized 

recreational uses. Trail systems planned in these motorized areas will be designed to include ORV's, 

including jeep type vehicles. Interagency management plans, like the Rogue River Wild and Scenic River 

Plan, may affect the restrictions on certain areas. The Forest may accommodate over-the-snow vehicle 

use at certain times of the year in suitable locations. 

In addressing the problems relating to ORV use, this plan was prepared with the following criteria 

1. There would be as few restrictions as possible based on present use and problems. As new problems 

are identified, they will be resolved by revising this plan. 

2. Closures and restrictions should be clearly defined for the benefit of users and administrators. 

3. The needs of the Forest user will be met whenever possible. 

CLOSURES AND RESTRICTIONS 

In order to formulate management direction within the established criteria and mitigate the problem, ORV 

limitations can be identified in two ways: (1) on an area basis, and (2) by a specific road or trail. These 

limitations also relate to season of use. In area closures, the roads and trails are open to ORV's unless they 

are posted and specifically closed. 

There are permanent yearlong ORV closures for Wilderness, Research Natural Areas, Botanical Areas, 

and similar land allocations that carry a specific theme. Closures occur on trails within Wilderness and 

some trails serving as access to sensitive areas, and for roads on which long-term use is not desirable for 

some reason. Long-term seasonal ORV restrictions apply primarily to trails and roads, and in some cases 

to campgrounds. There are instances where short-term temporary (up to several years duration) closures 

or restrictions will be applied to areas, trails, and roads found on the Forest. 

Although they may be applied for a variety of resource protection and public safety reasons, they will 

have an effect on ORV use. Restrictions on ORV use may be applied in areas to resolve or eliminate 

conflicts with other user groups and resource management activities. Organized activities such as hill 

climbs, moto-cross, or timed speed events will not be permitted; these are not considered as part of the 

ORV recreation role of National Forest lands. 

AREA CLOSURES 

Closures involve a variety of considerations, including wildlife winter range, elk calving areas, fragile 

soils and meadows. Each of these considerations includes elements of incompatibility with various kinds 

of ORV use. Ground cover, soil type, water table, wildlife habitat requirements, human needs and 

established patterns of use have all been considered in defining the boundaries for the area closures. 
Draft Supplemental EIS APPENDIX B Page B-11 

Forest Plan Direction and Proposed Amendments 

Motorized Vehicle Use on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

MOTORIZED TRAIL CLOSURE 

Closures may be initiated based on management objectives on those trails where motorized use has 

caused a public safety hazard, contributed to serious soil erosion problems, is not compatible with 

designed standards, or has introduced use into a trail system closed by National legislation. A trail 

leading to an area (such as Oregon Caves National Monument) where ORV's are prohibited may be 

closed. A trail designed by objective to accommodate horses may be closed to ORV use if such use 

present substantial hazards to horse travelers. 

Trails may be closed seasonally due to conflicts in patterns of use. For example, the Illinois River Trail 

where motorcycle and hiker conflicts occur during summer months, little conflict arises during the fail 

and winter period. Motorcycles have used this trail system during the 'off-season' period for fishing and 

hunting access, with little hiker conflicts. The trail may be closed to motorized use in the summer season 

only. 

ROADS 

Roads may be closed in support of area closures, as well as to protect the road and adjacent areas from 

erosion damage. Some roads which appear to be closed may be available for use by ORV's less than 40 

inches in width, if posted for such use. 

FIRE AND PUBLIC SAFETY 

Short-term closures may be applied to ORV use during high fire danger which limits vehicle use to only 

Forest development roads. Under extreme situations, all roads may be closed to all uses. Other shortterm closures for public safety purposes may affect use of ORV's. 

MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 

ENFORCEMENT 

Closure orders will be issued by the Forest Supervisor. Orders issued by the Forest Supervisor affecting 

ORV usage will become part of this plan. Orders rescinded by the Forest Supervisor will be removed 

from this plan. Currently there are numerous closure orders specific to certain roads. Many of these 

closure orders may be replaced by a Forest-wide closure order in the future. Closures and restrictions will 

be enforced by the District Rangers on the Siskiyou National Forest. 

SAFETY 

The Forest Service assumes the public to be responsible for prudent use and safe operation of ORV's on 

all National Forest System roads or trails open for motorized uses. Information specific to any trail or 

road system is available upon request. 

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT 

Plan updates may be scheduled periodically to incorporate ongoing public comment regarding the need to 

meet changing conditions. Where conflicts arise involving ORV use and other resources, the public will 

be encouraged to participate in the resolution of differences. 

PUBLIC NOTICE 

All closures and restrictions will be posted on signs in a manner that will reasonably inform the public of 

the intended action. In addition, each Ranger District Office and the Supervisor's Office will post a copy 

of the regulations and a map showing the designated areas on the Forest. 

IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION 

Each Forest Service office on the Siskiyou National Forest will display a map identifying area, trail and 

road closures, and restrictions. The Forest Off-Road Vehicle Use Map is in the process of production and 

will be made available to the public. Maps are available for review at the Forest Supervisor's and District 

Office. ORV use will be monitored. The ORV Plan will be reviewed annually and revised as new 

problems are identified.

PROPOSED FOREST PLAN AMENDMENTS 

This section of this Appendix documents proposed Forest Plan Amendments that would be changed under 

the Action Alternatives as applicable. 

Designations and restrictions on motor vehicle use are fundamentally site-specific decisions, and are not 

normally made in land management plans (Forest Plans). However, each site-specific motorized use 

decision must be evaluated to ensure it is consistent with overall management direction and Standards and 

Guidelines in the applicable Forest Plan. If proposed changes to the Forest transportation system 

(including the prohibition on cross-country motor vehicle use) would be inconsistent with the applicable 

land management plan, proposed amendments to the plans must be included with the alternatives so that 

the final decision would be consistent with the land management plan(s). 

For the RRSNF, there are two types of changes proposed as Forest Plan Amendments, overall Forestwide amendments to the Forest Plans to enact the Travel Management Rule, and route -specific 

amendments in the form of changes to specific management direction and/or to Standards and 

Guidelines. Both types of amendments are needed under the various Action Alternatives and are 

proposed to allow a decision under these alternatives to be consistent with land management plan 

direction.

The FEIS will evaluate the effects of the proposed amendments as related to the objectives, guidelines 

and other contents of the Forest Plans of the Rogue River and Siskiyou National Forests as required by 36 

CFR 219.10 (f). The level of analysis should be sufficient to evaluate effects associated with the sitespecific changes associated with a motorized use system. Based on this evaluation the Forest Supervisor 

will determine whether the proposed amendments significantly change the delivery of goods and services 

as described in the respective Forest Plans2.

Forest Plan Direction and Proposed Amendments 

Motorized Vehicle Use on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

FOREST-WIDE PLAN AMENDMENTS 

Current Land and Resource Management Plans provide direction for portions of the Forest that are open 

to cross-country motor vehicle use. Implementation of the Travel Management Rule requires an 

amendment to the applicable Forest Plans. Under the Action Alternatives, amendments to the Rogue 

River Land and Resource Management Plan and the Siskiyou Land and Resource Management Plan 

would provide consistency with the 2005 Travel Management Rule. Under the Rule, all roads, trails, and 

cross-country motorized use would be closed unless designated open to specific uses. 

For the Action Alternatives, new additional text, specific to each respective Forest Plan for the Rogue 

River-Siskiyou National Forest, would amend current management direction for motorized vehicle use. 

The following text, specific to each respective Forest Plan for the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, 

would amend current management direction for motorized vehicle use. 

Rogue River National Forest 

Management Direction/Objectives: 

Recreation and Facilities – LRMP Chapter 4 

On November 9, 2005, the Final Rule for Travel Management; Designated Routes and Areas for Motor 

Vehicle Use (Travel Management Rule) was published in the Federal Register. This affects 36 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 212, 251, 261, and 295. These rules became effective in December 

2005. The Rule revises several regulations to require designation of roads, trails, and areas for motor 

vehicle use on National Forests and National Grasslands. 

In order to provide consistency, the 1990 Rogue River National Forest Land and Resource Management 

Plan is herby amended to adopt and include direction with the 2005 Travel Management Rule and 

allowable uses associated with the Record of Decision for Motorized Vehicle Use on the Rogue RiverSiskiyou NF. This decision is designed to enact the Travel Management Rule in compliance with 36 CFR 

212. 

Under this amendment, all roads and trails on the Rogue River National Forest will be closed to motorized 

use unless designated open to this use. This plan amendment also prohibits cross-country motorized use 

unless the area is designated for that use. Motorized use is designated per the Motorized Vehicle Use Map 

(MVUM) following national Forest Service standards that indicates which routes are designated open to the 

public by type of vehicle per route and season open for use. This map will be made available to the public 

free-of charge. There may be some changes as implementation occurs on the ground. Designation, use 

restrictions, and operating conditions may be revised in future decisions as needed to meet changing 

conditions or management strategies. This plan amendment, allows codification or the ability to issue 

citations for use violations not in accordance with the MVUM. 

Because the Travel Analysis process was enacted to provide improved motorized use direction in 

compliance with current Forest Service policy and the 2005 Travel Management Rule, Forest Plan 

Appendix C, Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan, is removed, replaced with direction associated with the 

Travel Management Rule, this decision and the Motorized Vehicle Use Map.

Consistency with Laws, Regulations, Policy, and Land and Resource Management Plans (Forest 

Plans) 

The NFMA regulations and 36 CFR 219 contain provisions that allows for amending Forest Plans. The 

Forest is proposing amendment to clarify the inconsistent direction contained in the Forest Plans, does not 

effectively provide limitations on management activities, is open to misinterpretation, and/or could be in 

conflict with the concept of establishing Forest-wide, travel planning area and route-by-route 

management direction in accordance with the 2005 Travel Management rule. 

For amendments, the regulations require the decision-maker (the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest 

Supervisor) to determine whether the proposal would result in a significant change to the Forest Plans 

based on an analysis of the goals, desired conditions, objectives, guidelines and goods and services 

projected to be provided by the Forest Plans. If the amendment is determined not significant, then the 

Forest Supervisor may implement the amendment following appropriate public notification and 

satisfactory completion of NEPA procedures. If the amendment is determined significant, the Forest 

Service should follow the same procedure as that required for development of a Forest Plan. 

 

 

3 These trails were specifically authorized within the Wild River Area of the Illinois Wild and Scenic River Management Plan, 

October 31, 1985. As stated in the 1989 SNF LRMP IV-77, objectives for Wild River are defined in the individual river 

management plans and are not affected by the Forest Plan. Motorized use of portions of the trails within the Non-motorized 

portions of Backcountry Recreation is authorized to make use of these trails consistent with management direction and 

Standards and Guidelines.
