The Recreation Management <br />Plan was issued earlier this year. Subsequent to extensive <br />public involvement in its development, the management plan offers <br />a unique variety of motorized and non-motorized recreational <br />opportunities surrounding a core area around the Lower Gunnison <br />River.
