Regulations for Use of Rogue River Trail Are Reviewed
Use regulations for the
Rogue River Recreation area,
including the Rogue River
Foot trail, have been released
by the bureau of land manage
ment, department of the in
terior. Dedication of the trail will
be held early in July, prob
ably July 9 or 10, and the
BLM has asked that the rules
for public use be reviewed
prior to the dedication ceremony.
;
m
The new section of the trail i are to be attended at all times
from the BLM b r i d e e at I and must be extinguished be-
Graves Creek to the mouth of fore leaving the camp, the
Whiskey Creek will be com
pleted June 30.
Lands Included
The recreation area em
braces the Rogue River can
yon from the Almeda bridge
to Marial. Lands within ap
proximately one-half mile on
each side of the river for a
distance of 23 miles are in
cluded. Major recommendations in
the use regulations limit
camping to designated camp
grounds and to seven days of
continuous occupation by any
one group; and prohibit mo
torcycles and motor scooters
in the area.
Camp fires or cooking fires
BLM noted. Refuse shall be
placed in garbage pits (when
possible) or buried.
Defacing or damaging of
trees, signs, campground
equipment and other improve
ments is prohibited and is
punishable by a fine of up to
(1.000 and' of one year in jail.
Unless otherwise author
ized, motorized, wheeled ve
hicles, pack animals and
horses are strictly prohibited
except in cases of emergency.
This regulation is in agree
ment with the desire of inter
ested persons who have asked
that the Rogue River Recrea
tion area be kept free of mo
t o r i z e d wheeled equipment
and reserved for foot travel
only, Donald J. Schofield. dis
trict manager of the BLM,
noted.
Wheeled vehicles such a?
motorcycles and motor scoot
ers cause damage to the trail,
particularly in wet weather.
There is also evidence of
"side-hilling" being done with
this type of vehicle which re
sults in severe rutting on steep
slopes, Schofield added. These
areas are highly susceptible to
erosion if disturbed and if mo
torized vehicles are allowed
in the area there will undoubt
edly be drivers who will -be
"hill climbing" where the op
portunity occurs, the BLM
manager contended.
Horses and pack animals
have been used for transport
on the trail in recent months.
Damage to trails by these an
imals consists primarily of
holes punched in damp
stretches in wet weather and
breaking down the shoulders
on new construction.
Another reason for exclu
sion of horses lies in the na
ture of Hie country itself.

MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNS 23, 1963
PAGES 1 to 10
There are few places where
horses can obtain natural for
age in the canyon and these
are only suitable in the spring
of the year, the report from
the . Medford office empha
sized. Motorized vehicles also are
lifted as contributing to the
fire hazard and to vandalism.
Vandalism recently discov
ered had not happened to
structures along the trail pri
or to the advent of motorized
equipment, Schofield said,
adding that he was quite sure
it was done by persons riding
motorized equipment.
Open Area of River
Answering the argument of
the motor scooter organization
members that they could
reach the little used fishing
areas- in a relatively short
time with the motorized equip
ment, Schofield said that the
new trail along the river will
open up a stretch of the river
accessible in about one-half
hour of walking.
"In this portion of the
Rogue river drainage we have
an area which is world re
nowned for its fishing re
source and virtually un
touched natural scenery. To
introduce mechanical means
of conveyance such as scooters
and motorcycles would negate
much of the charm which the
area now holds for the out
doorsman," Schofield said in
his report, "and we feel they
are neither necessary nor de
sirable to enjoyment of the
wilderness."

Waltonians Ready
To Help Clean Up
Creek, Stale Told
Col. Paul Weiland, Med
ford, representing the Jack
son county chapter- of the
Izaak Walton league, told
state sanitary officials here
Fkiday that his organization
is ready. and willing to exert
its major effort to help elimi
nate the sources of Bear
creek pollution.
"The people of the Bear
creek valley are anxious to i
have this pollution eliminat-1
ed." he said.' - i
Weiland pointed out that,
since the creek is used to j
transmit irrigation water, it j
is not practical to dry it up.
Consequently, he said, the j
pollution must be eliminated
for the best interests of the
city of Mcdlord. j
The chanjer representatives j
said that in their -efforts con
cerning Bear creek, Walton- j
ians noted five things: i
1. The waters of the creek 1
are more polluted than a year
ago.
2. Without strick enforce
ment of the state laws apply
ing to the creek and its tribu
taries, there will be little
worthwhile benefit derived
from the plans to beautify the
banks of the stream.
3. The waters of the creek
are not only used for irriga
tion but also for the domestic
water supply of cities on the
banks of Rogue river.
4. Sill, in the opinion of
Waltonians. U one nf the
worst pollutants in She case
of the creek. -
5. Because of the creek be
ing a small stream, it will
be necessary to virtually
eliminate all sources of pol
lutants such as sewage, in
cluding malfunctioning septic
tanks.
