Abstract

The general site selection process described is applicable to most types of non-competitive off-road vehicles (ORVs). Land and recreational use compatibility, environmental assessment and trail development are several factors considered. Variations in procedure and planning criteria due to vehicle type, planning for uncommon vehicles such as swamp buggies, and competitive use are special considerations that are included. Recreation planners and land managers will be primary users of the process. Results can be used to provide ORV use opportunities while giving due consideration to natural and integrated resource management.
