Restrictions and Travel Restrictions

for the Potholes Recreation Site

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of supplementary visitor

use restrictions and travel restrictions.

SUMMARY: This order, issued under the

authority of 43 CFR 8364.1, and 8342,

limits motorized vehicle travel on

identified public lands in the vicinity of

the Potholes Recreation Site. The only

authorized route will be the main access

route into the recreation site itself. This

order also prohibits any open campfires,

overnight camping or shooting of

firearms on public lands in the vicinity

of the Potholes Recreation Site.

The identified public land is in

Colorado, Mesa County, under the

management jurisdiction of the Bureau

of Land Management, Grand Junction

Resource Area, Grand Junction District.

The area is located in T. 12 S., R. 103

W., Section 35.

EFFECTIVE DATES: The restrictions shall

be in effect year round beginning June

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Potholes Recreation Site has for many

years experienced undirected and

uncontrolled recreational use. Dominant

recreational pursuits include

picnicking, camping and swimming and

diving into the Little Dolores River. The

unrestricted nature of the use has

caused severe resource damage in many

areas. Problems include frequent

unattended campfires and frequent

unsafe discharge of firearms. The

number of nearby year round residents

has increased in recent years and is

causing frequent conflicts between

recreationists and landowners. This

order implements visitor use restrictions

mandated in the Potholes Recreation
