The Kelly Canyon trail system in Idaho, which has been officially closed to mountain biking since 2008, is finally enforcing closure measures this summer. Despite the closures aimed at preventing erosion in the Fish Creek watershed, unauthorized usage has persisted. The Palisades Ranger District is planning to deploy fencing, signage, and ticketing while also proposing a new mountain biking trail system to facilitate usage in a more sustainable manner. This plan acknowledges both the increased mountain biking traffic and the related erosion issues at play, suggesting a need for improved management of recreational spaces.
Unauthorized trails within Kelly Canyon will finally see enforced closures this summer after years of unregulated use and erosion concerns for the Fish Creek watershed.
