Salt Lake City…Wednesday, February 23, 2006…Starting March 1, 2006 visitors
at the Knolls Special Recreation Management Area will be required to pay a
daily fee. The charge is $6.00 per day per primary vehicle (street legal
vehicle used for transportation to the site) or $40.00 for an annual pass
for frequent visitors. This year the price will be pro-rated at $30.00.
There is no fee for overnight camping. Knolls is a popular off-highway
vehicle (OHV) area covering 35,877 acres of public land south of I-80 in
Tooele County.
Fees collected will directly benefit those who pay to play at Knolls.
Throughout the last year, the BLM has upgraded and improved the main access
road, installed two bathroom facilities, constructed parking areas and
installed informational bulletin boards. Future projects that may be
funded through fee revenue include installing picnic tables, trail
maintenance, additional restroom facilities, and installing a traffic
counter.
The BLM-SLFO has also implemented supplementary rules for the Knolls SRMA.
These rules have been established to enhance the safety of visitors,
protect natural resources, improve recreation opportunities, and protect
public health.
Please remember:
· No target shooting
· No glass containers outside of enclosed vehicles
· No firewood that contains nails, screws, or other metal hardware,
including but not limited to wood pallets and/or construction debris
· No campfires outside the confines of a fire pan or other containers.
Containers such as garbage can lids can be purchased at home improvement
stores to be used as fire pans.
· Do not operate a motorized vehicle in excess of the posted speed
limit on any maintained roadway.
· Respect the hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. as quiet time.
