Or DIAL 911 These designations apply only to National Forest System roads, National Forest System trails, and areas on National Forest System lands. PURPOSE AND CONTENTS OF THIS MAP The designations shown on this motor vehicle use map (MVUM) were made by the responsible official pursuant to 36 CFR 212.51; are effective as of the date on the front cover of this MVUM; and will remain in effect until superceded by next year's MVUM. ________________________________________ Forest Supervisor, National Forests in North Carolina Kristin Bail It is the responsibility of the user to acquire the current MVUM.This MVUM shows the National Forest System roads, National Forest System trails, and the areas on National Forest System lands in the National Forests in North Carolina that are designated for motor vehicle use pursuant to 36 CFR 212.51. This MVUM also identifies the vehicle classes allowed on each route and in each area; and any seasonal restrictions that apply on those routes and in those areas. Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicle use by a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51 should not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use or implying that the road, trail, or area is passable, actively maintained, or safe for travel. Motor vehicle designations include parking along designated routes and at facilities associated with designated routes when it is safe to do so and when not causing damage to National Forest System resources. Seasonal weather conditions and natural events may render designated roads and trails impassable for extended periods. Designated areas may contain dangerous or impassable terrain. Many designated roads and trails may be passable only by high-clearance vehicles or four-wheel-drive vehicles. Maintenance of designated roads and trails will depend on available resources, and many may receive little maintenance. This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads, trails, and areas designated for the motor vehicle use under 36 CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition at 36 CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose. The other public roads are shown for information and navigation purposes only and are not subject to designation under the Forest Service travel management regulation. It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle on National Forest System lands on the National Forests in North Carolina other than in accordance with these designations (CFR 261.13) PROHIBITIONS Violators of 36 CFR 261.13 are subject to a fine of up to $5,000, imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both (18 U.S.C. 3571(e)).This prohibition applies regardless of the presence or absence of signs. This map does not display nonmotorized uses, over- snow uses, or other facilities and attractions on the National Forests in North Carolina. Obtain forest visitor information from the local national forest office. Designated roads, trails and areas may also be subject to temporary, emergency closures. As a visitor, you must comply with signs notifying you of such restrictions. A national forest may issue an order to close a road, trail or area on a temporary basis to protect the life, health, or safety of forest visitors or the natural or cultural resources in these areas. Such a temporary and/or emergency closures are consistent with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR 212.52 (b), 36 CFR 261 subpart B). The designation "road or trail open to all motor vehicles" does not supersede State traffic law. OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES Operating a motor vehicle on National Forest System roads, National Forest System trails, and in areas on National Forest System lands carries a greater responsibility than operating that vehicle in a city or other developed setting. Not only must you know and follow all applicable traffic laws, you need to show concern for the environment as well as other forest users. The misuse of motor vehicles can lead to the temporary or permanent closure of any designated road, trail, or area. As a motor vehicle operator, you are also subject to State traffic law, including State requirements for licensing, registration, and operation of the vehicle in question. Motor vehicle use, especially off-highway vehicle use, involves inherent risks that may cause property damage, serious injury, and possibly death to participants. Drive cautiously and anticipate rough surfaces and features, such as snow, mud, vegetation, and water crossings common to remote driving conditions. By your participation, you voluntarily assume full responsibility for these damages, risks, and dangers. Take care at all times to protect yourself and those under your responsibility. Much of the National Forests in North Carolina is remote. Medical assistance may not be readily available. Cellular telephones do not work in many areas of the National Forests in North Carolina. Take adequate food, water, first-aid supplies, and other equipment appropriate for the conditions and expected weather. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RESPECT PRIVATE LAND! PROTECT YOUR PRIVILEGE. STAY ON DESIGNATED ROADS AND TRAILS AND IN DESIGNATED AREAS. Read and understand this map in its entirety. If you have questions, please contact the National Forests in North Carolina for clarification. As a motor vehicle operator on a National Forest System road, trail, or area you must comply with this map, as well as all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Compliance with these rules is your responsibility. 1:126,000 Route Number Special Vehicle Designation Dates Allowed Beginning Mile Post Ending Mile Post 130, 472F, 805, 805A 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 05/01-10/31 161, 5544 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 04/15-10/31 2074, 3549, 466, 472, 63, 74 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 04/15-12/31 278 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 04/15-12/31 0.000 2.000 278 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 11/15-12/31 2.000 6.200 278 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 04/15-12/31 6.200 8.000 287 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 08/15-03/15 2.795 4.690 3518 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 04/01-11/30 0.000 0.096 482 4 Roads open to highway legal vehicles only, with Seasonal Designation Seasonal Designation 04/01-12/31 2.000 7.184 Seasonal and Special Vehicle Designations Legend G d Appalachian Ranger District United States Department of Agriculture Use Map Motor Vehicle NORTH CAROLINA 2015 Forest Service America's Great Outdoors National Forest Pisgah Ranger District Appalachian
