Show Your Support for Lemon Gulch

​COTA needs our members' help! Plans for Lemon Gulch, a proposed 50 mile trail network in the Ochocos 4+ years in the making, are threatened by a small group of private parties.

​The oposition is primarily three ranches that hold grazing permits for a short period of time each summer in Lemon Gulch. They do not feel that it is possible coexist with mountain bikers. We believe we can navigate their concerns and we feel strongly this is the best location for this trail network but need to push for that conversation to happen.

Please contact the representatives listed below to show your support for the proposed Lemon Gulch trails. Feel free to use your own words on why you support these trails or use the language here:
--------------------------------------------------
Dear ______,
I’m contacting you because I support the proposal to add a network of mountain bike trails to Lemon Gulch just outside of Prineville in the Ochoco National Forest. These public lands offer a great riding opportunity for mountain bikers of all ages and abilities in an area where there will not be conflicts with other trail users. The project will have positive health and economic benefits for the community. Of the many areas initially proposed, Lemon Gulch has been identified by the Forest Service as the most appropriate area for this trail network. The Lemon Gulch proposal is the result of a multi-year process, initiated by the Forest Service and the Prineville Chamber of Commerce, that has included many stakeholder groups and members of the community and it is important that the outcome of this process be respected and not derailed by a small group of private parties attempting to restrict access to public land.
