2.5.3.3. Management Actions

RR-80. Intensively manage all recreation uses with a significant BLM ground presence by using signing, facilities, law enforcement, volunteers, and collaborative efforts through community and organizational partnerships. Continue cooperative efforts with the Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Ambassador Program.

RR-81. Analyze the feasibility and manageability of establishing parts of the SRMA as a fee-for-use area. The feasibility study will include an analysis to determine if fees are necessary to maintain or enhance the recreation opportunities and conditions of the area. Fees would be used to:

maintain motorized and non-motorized trails and facilities,
improve law enforcement, and
enhance user and community education, stewardship, and volunteer programs.

RR-82. Identify, analyze, build, and designate new single-use and multi-use hiking, equestrian, and OHV /vehicle routes. Network design emphasizes connections that would link them to local trail systems and communities. Routes include a proposed motorized and non-motorized Wickenburg-Lake Pleasant Regional Park-Black Canyon Trail corridor. Planning for this network requires collaboration with the AGFD , Prescott National Forest, Maricopa and Yavapai Counties, and Lake Pleasant Regional Park, to link to trails on BLM’s land. Activities envisioned in this area include trail development for:

differentiated use (motorized and non-motorized travel),
single use (e.g. hiking or ATVs only),
multi-use (vehicles, bicycles, hiking, and equestrian use),
single-track use (e.g. motorcycles or mountain bicycles only), and
multi-use trails and foot, bike, and horse trails linking Wickenburg and the Lake Pleasant Regional Park, with other links to Peoria and Phoenix trail systems, and the Black Canyon Trail.

RR-83. Locate and develop staging areas, trails, signs, trailheads, and other sites when needed for resource protection, visitor health and safety, or maintaining recreation opportunities.

RR-84. Locate and develop small day-use areas for up to ten vehicles with trailers to provide the following:

parking,
unloading OHVs and horses, and
picnicking.

RR-85. Development could include the following:

informational signing,
kiosks,
picnic tables,
loading ramp, and
soil stabilization for dust abatement.

RR-86. Limit to two acres the area of exposed barren soil for each developed site. Mark or delineate the perimeter with barriers to prevent expansion.

RR-87. Confine motorized competitive races to the Hieroglyphic Mountains RMZ.
