Cantwell Traditional Use Area

In July 2005, the NPS published the final “Cantwell Subsistence Traditionally Employed Off-Road Vehicle Determination” which opened the entire 32,159 acre Cantwell traditional ORV use area (TUA) to the use of off-road vehicles (ORVs), for subsistence purposes by NPS qualified subsistence users. The NPS is proposing this current action to assure subsistence ORV use in this area is proactively managed to minimize adverse impacts to the resources and values for which the park was established while also providing reasonable access for subsistence purposes. Along with the 2005 Determination, this action would amend the General Management Plan for Denali (GMP). Delineates the area designated as the traditional use area for subsistence purposes in the Cantwell area.
