Since 2015, a Forest Order has been in place to prohibit overnight camping along the first few miles of Moose Mountain and Gordon Roads following many years of resource damages and trash dumping. This project would make the closure permanent.
Location
The proposed project would impact the first three miles of Gordon Road and approximately 4 miles of roads in the Moose Mt area including Moose Mt Road (2027), Forest Roads 2025, 2025-500 and 505.
