Current Recreational Access Agreements:
Bulkley TSA May 2006
Integrated Land Management
Bureau

Introduction
The Smithers area provides a broad spectrum of outdoor recreation opportunities.
Local recreation clubs and interested individuals have been pro-active in
addressing their differing needs, including both motorized and non-motorized
forms of recreation, through the negotiation of many area-specific agreements on
seasonal access. This document provides a tabular summary of agreements on
recreational access in the Bulkley Timber Supply Area (TSA) (and portions of
the Morice TSA in the Telkwa Mountains), and is current to May 2006. This
document is not meant to be a comprehensive listing of trails in the area, but
rather a reflection of the agreements that have been made to date on particular
trails. There are still some unresolved issues and undesignated areas that will be
addressed in the future.
A Recreational Access Management Plan (RAMP) was completed in 1997 for the
Bulkley TSA by a diverse group of local people. It identified seasonal
restrictions on motorized use on some areas of crown land to address emerging
recreational conflicts between motorized and non-motorized users. It established
general principles regarding use, education and monitoring, and also established
principles specific to motorized and non-motorized recreation and related
environmental protection. Portions of the TSA were zoned for seasonal
motorized or non-motorized use, and portions of the TSA were left unresolved.
The RAMP is available at www.for.gov.bc.ca/dss/RAMP/RAMPtoc.htm.
Subsequent to 1997, several agreements have been negotiated among
stakeholders that have successfully resolved access issues in some areas that were
left as “unresolved”, “future process”, or “non-designated” in the RAMP. The
following tables and associated maps summarize negotiated recreational access
management agreements to May 2006, and provide a listing of allowable
recreational activities by area.
There is a general expectation within the community that these agreements will
be respected by all those who enjoy outdoor recreation in this area.
*Please note: The maps provided in this pamphlet are for graphic representation
only, and should not be used for navigational purposes.
