Fortymile River Region Travel Management Plan


Fortymile River Region Travel Management Plan

September 2, 2022

Dear Interested Citizens & Organizations,

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is preparing a Travel Management Plan for the Fortymile River basin to sort through concerns and expectations users and stakeholders have for the river and trail corridors.

This Travel Management Plan is meant to be a step-down plan to the Upper Yukon Area Plan that DNR developed in 2003 which provides broad management intent for the region. This plan focuses on more specific management issues in the river and trail corridors within the region. The plan will develop information about river and trail conditions and uses, possible ways to address any problems, and opportunities to improve access for existing uses, conservation, or the quality of recreation experiences. The plan may also address commercial recreation uses and permitting, requirements for long-term camping or storage in the corridors, and the appropriate vehicle uses on different types of trails.

Developing plans is challenging because people have differing ideas of how land and waters can best be used, and not all uses are compatible in the same place and time. The planning process is designed to offer public users and stakeholders opportunities to provide information and express their preferences for management on these state lands. Through the planning process, we hope to assess alternatives and select the one that will provide the greatest benefit for all Alaskans.

Public involvement is essential to the process, as many users and stakeholders possess recent information about the area’s conditions, use, and issues, as well as preferences for different management prescriptions. The planning team will encourage the public and stakeholders to help define the scope of the plan this fall, and then weigh in on draft and final Travel Management Plans this winter and spring.

You are invited to participate in the planning process, starting with scoping during the next few months. Scoping is a planning stage where we collect information about issues, uses, and possible management strategies. Please help us by identifying the range of issues you would like to see addressed at one of the meeting opportunities below.
