Responsible Recreation
Responsible Recreation
On April 27th, 2020, the County Commissioners held a meeting with various off road recreation groups. That meeting focused on responsible recreation and respectful use of public lands. Below are some of the great ideas that came out of that meeting. We want to thank all of the groups that participated and have worked so hard to help ensure responsible recreation through the “Do the Right Thing” campaign. Do the right thing! The Owhyee front is becoming overwhelmed with the recent increase in recreation. The amount of trash, cross country travel, parking area destruction and disrespect for local ranchers is unacceptable. Please share these images to help other new users learn how to recreate responsibly.
Do the Right Thing
Fences/Gates
Leave gates as you found them and pay attention to signs. Respect private lands and ranchers. Use an app like OnX to identify what areas are public and what is trespassing.
Trails
Stay on the trail. Do not widen or create new trails. Cross country travel is prohibited. Observe closed trail signs to allow for revegetation.
Mud
Stay off roads when they are wet.
Trash
Pack it in, Pack it out. Secure your trash in your vehicle and help pick up any trash that may have blown away.
Group
We’re Better Together – Share this post, share the trails, join a club, help educate others about responsible recreation and help keep Idaho public lands open, clean and beautiful for years to come.
