OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

Operating a motor vehicle on National Forest System

roads, National Forest System trails, and in areas on National

Forest System lands carries a greater responsibility than

operating that vehicle in a city or other developed setting. Not

only must the motor vehicle operators know and follow all

applicable traffic laws, but they need to show concern for the

environment as well as other forest users. The misuse of

motor vehicles can lead to the temporary or permanent

closure of any designated road, trail, or area. Operators of

motor vehicles are subject to State traffic law, including State

requirements for licensing, registration, and operation of the

vehicle in question.

Motor vehicle use, especially off-highway vehicle use,

involves inherent risks that may cause property damage,

serious injury, and possibly death to participants. Riders

should drive cautiously and anticipate rough surfaces and

features, such as snow, mud, vegetation, and water crossings

common to remote driving conditions. Participants voluntarily

assume full responsibility for these damages, risks, and

dangers. Motor vehicle operators should take care at all times

to protect themselves and those under their responsibility.

Much of the Croatan National Forest is remote, and

medical assistance may not be readily available. Cellular

telephones do not work in many areas of the Croatan

National Forest. Operators should take adequate food, water,

first aid supplies, and other equipment appropriate for the

conditions and expected weather.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RESPECT PRIVATE LAND!

PROTECT YOUR PRIVILEGE. STAY ON DESIGNATED

ROADS AND TRAILS AND IN DESIGNATED AREAS.

Read and understand this map in its entirety. If you have

questions please contact the Croatan National Forest for

clarification.

Road, trail, and area users must comply with this map, as

well as all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

Compliance with these rules is the responsibility of the user.

PROHIBITIONS

It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle on

National Forest System lands on the Croatan National

Forest other than in accordance with these designations

(36 CFR 261.13).

Violations of 36 CFR 261.13 are subject to a fine of up to

$5,000 or imprisonment for up to 6 months or both (18

U.S.C. 3571(e)). This prohibition applies regardless of the

presence or absence of signs.

This map does not display nonmotorized uses, over-snow

uses, or other facilities and attractions on the Croatan

National Forest. Obtain a forest visitor map for more

complete information.

Designated roads, trails, and areas may also be subject

to temporary, emergency closures, and visitors must comply

with signs notifying them of such restrictions. A national

forest may issue an order to close a road, trail, or area on a

temporary basis to protect the life, health or safety of forest

visitors or the natural or cultural resources in these areas.

Such a temporary and/or emergency closures are consistent

with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR 212.52 (b); 36

CFR 261 subpart B).

The designation "road or trail open to all motor vehicles"

does not supersede vehicle size or weight limits imposed

through State traffic law.

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS

OF THIS MAP

This map dated 08/31/2007 shows the National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and the areas

on National Forest System lands in the Croatan National

Forest that are designated for motor vehicle use pursuant to

36 CFR 212.51. The map also contains a list of those

designated roads, trails, and areas that enumerate the types

of vehicles that are allowed on each route and in each area

and any seasonal restrictions that apply on those routes and

in those areas.

Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicle use

by a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51 should

not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use, or to imply

that the road, trail, or area is passable, actively maintained, or

safe for travel. Motor vehicle designations include parking

along designated routes and at facilities associated with

designated routes when it is safe to do so and when not

causing damage to National Forest System resources.

Seasonal weather conditions and natural events may render

designated roads and trails impassable for extended periods.

Designated areas may contain dangerous or impassable

terrain. Many designated roads and trails may be passable

only by high-clearance vehicles or four-wheel drive vehicles.

Maintenance of designated roads and trails will depend on

available resources, and many may receive little

maintenance.

This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads, trails,

and areas designated for the motor vehicle use under 36

CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition at 36

CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose. The other public

roads are shown for information and navigation purposes

only and are not subject to designation under the Forest

Service travel management regulation.

These designations apply only to National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and areas

on National Forest System lands.

assistance program. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all

programs.) Persons with disabilities who require
