EXPLANATION OF LEGEND ITEMS

Roads Open to Highway Legal Vehicles Only:

Roads open only to motor vehicles licensed under

State law for general operation on all public roads.

Seasonal Designation:

This symbol, used in conjunction with one of the other

road or trail symbols, indicates that the road or trail is

the Seasonal and Special Designation Table for

further instructions.

Other Public Roads

THE PURPOSE AND CONTENTS

OF THIS MAP

 The designations shown on this motor

vehicle use map (MVUM) were made by

the responsible official pursuant to 36

CFR 212.51; are effective as of the date

on the front cover of this MVUM; and will

remain in effect until superceded by next

year's MVUM.

 It is the responsibility of the user to

acquire the current MVUM.This MVUM

shows the National Forest System roads,

National Forest System trails, and the

areas on National Forest System lands in

the Finger Lakes National Forest that are

designated for motor vehicle use

pursuant to 36 CFR 212.51. This MVUM

also identifies the vehicle classes 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 implying 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.

 These designations apply only to

National Forest System roads, National

Forest System trails, and areas on National

Forest System lands.

 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

Forest Supervisor, Green Mountain & Finger

Lakes National Forests
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 you know and follow all

applicable traffic laws, you 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

 Motor vehicle use, especially offhighway vehicle use, involves inherent

risks that may cause property damage,

serious injury, and possibly death to

participants. Drive cautiously and

anticipate rough surfaces and features

such as snow, mud, vegetation, and

water crossings common to remote

driving conditions. By your Participation,

you voluntarily assume full responsibility

for these damages, risks, and dangers.

Take care at all times to protect yourself

and those under your responsibility.

 Much of the Finger Lakes National

Forest is remote. Medical assistance may

not be readily available. Cellular

telephones do not work in many areas of

the Finger Lakes 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, TRAILS, AND IN DESIGNATED

AREAS.

 Read and understand this map in its

entirety. If you have questions, please

contact the Finger Lakes National Forest

for clarification.

 As a motor vehicle operator on a

National Forest System road, trail, or

area, you must comply with this map, as

well as all Federal, State, and local laws

and regulations. Compliance with these

rules is your responsibility.

PROHIBITIONS

 It is prohibited to possess or

operate a motor vehicle on National

Forest System lands on the Finger

Lakes National Forest other than in

accordance with these designations

(36 CFR 261.13).

 Violators of 36 CFR 261.13 are

subject to a fine of up to $5,000,

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

Finger Lakes National Forest. Obtain

forest visitor information from the local

national forest office.

 Designated roads, trails, and areas

may also be subject to temporary,

emergency closures. As a visitor, you

must comply with signs notifying you 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 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.
