Is cross-country motorized travel currently allowed on the Willamette National Forest?
A. The Forest Plan currently describes which places are open or closed to cross-country motorized travel. In some Management Areas, cross-country travel is not allowed. In other Management Areas (Approximately 60% of total Forest acres), cross country motorized travel is currently allowed, providing that it does not result in impacts to resources. In other words, cross-country travel that causes impacts to natural vegetation, soils, water, or cultural sites is illegal, regardless of the designation.
