Flathead National Forest eyes big snowmobile use swap
New terrain will open near Big Creek under the new plan, as outlined in this map.
The Forest Service is proposing to close some areas to snowmobile and other over-the-snow vehicle use in the Spotted Bear Ranger District while opening more terrain in the Glacier View and Hungry Horse Ranger Districts.
It will also look to close about 81-plus miles of trails in the North Fork to mechanized use, including bicycles.
The plan comes from the 2018 Forest Plan. But the way the Forest Plan was designed, it’s an umbrella document, while individual projects, like this one, provide on-the-ground details.
