Project Descriptions:

Three Trails Phase II Project Description:
Located south and west of Crescent, mostly off of Hwy 58, this area provides the southern region of Central Oregon with a designated OHV system. Trails constructed over the last two summer seasons as well as existing shared use roads have added 80 miles of signed and mapped routes. Phase II of the Three Trails development will expand the trail system to the north. This grant application will fund continued development including approximately 108 miles of designated OHV routes accommodating all classes of OHV.


Rim Butte Project Description:
Located south of the Newberry National Monument and on the western edge of the East Fort Rock Trail System. The area is heavily impacted from logging operations and fires throughout the recent past and features numerous rock outcroppings and lava flows that make this location ideal for technical class II trails. This development project will designate between 17 and 32 miles of class II routes with a focus on technical rock crawling. Trails will be open to all classes of OHV, but the design and layout will maximize the technical off-road mileage. This project is slated to begin development in July of 2013 with a lot of coordination needed from class II clubs and volunteers.


Cline Buttes Phase II Project Description:
Located between Redmond and Sisters off of Hwy 126 this area provides convenient access to OHV riding for most of Central Oregon’s residents. Development of the Cline Buttes OHV Area has been underway for nearly two years with noticeable progress on the ground. At this point the trail system south of Hwy 126 has been established with all the trails constructed, signed, and mapped. The trail system includes single track, technical rock crawling, ATV trails, and shared use roads totaling 89 miles of newly designated OHV routes for Central Oregon. Phase II of the project will include further development of the Barr North Staging Area with the addition of fire rings and picnic tables as well as the completion of the ASI/MSF/youth training area. Additional rehab work will take place to reduce user created trails and eliminate conflicts with private property owners within the OHV area. This grant will also cover the design and layout of the proposed trails north of Hwy 126.
