National Park Service Settles with Environmental Groups to Restrict Off-Road Vehicles in Glen Canyon
The National Park Service (NPS) has agreed to revise its rules for off-road vehicles (ORVs) in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to address environmental concerns raised by conservation groups. The new rule will restrict motorized use on Lake Powell’s shorelines and prohibit ORV use in a portion of the Orange Cliffs Special Management Unit. The settlement does not impact recreation on Lake Powell.
