What is meant by “user conflicts” and what sorts of conflict has the Forest Service seen?
User conflicts may occur when one person’s recreational experience is negatively affected by another type of use occurring in the same area. Whether or not conflict occurs is subjective and personal, but is important to the quality of a person’s recreational experience. While eliminating conflicts will not be possible, identifying clearly where motorized use is appropriate and allowed will help Forest visitors know what kind of experience to expect.
