Goals

(from the mtn bike perspective) The BLM is currently finalizing a new management plan for the Cline Buttes Area which stands to benefit Central Oregon mtn bikers in many ways. We’re looking to gain protection for the existing downhill and slalom trails and in addition to gain new downhill trails. From a cross-country riding perspective there is even more as the plan calls for an epic xc loop around the buttes and more xc friendly riding on the buttes. Only slightly less impressive is The Maston Allotment. This area of several thousand acres of rolling juniper land already has a network of existing trails and dirt roads perfect for winter xc fitness. Currently the area is used by motor vehicles of all types, but the BLM plan will set this area aside for wildlife and non-motorized recreation.
