FS lands in Otto-White River area have been heavily impacted from illegal offroading and extensive camping use. The road system would be managed by redesignating use, road closures, moving roads to a more sustainable route, and designating campsites.
Location
The project area is in Grant and Otto Townships of Oceana County. The project area is bounded by Arthur Road (north), 160th Avenue (east), Skeels Road (south), and Oceana Road (west).
