ROAD
NOTICE:
Most refuge
roads are passable and open for travel. Conditions can
change quickly due to seasonal weather. West County and
North Roads are not regularly maintained; they become
very rough and impassable in bad weather. Please use caution
when driving on these roads.
Only street-legal vehicles are allowed within refuge boundaries. Vehicles will be allowed to park along refuge roads as long as 2 wheels remain
on the road shoulder or graded portion of the road, and not impede the flow
of traffic. Be careful not to park off the road completely as this is an infraction
(off-road travel) and you can be cited.
And, you may get stuck too! |
| |
OFF-ROAD TRAVEL WITHIN THE REFUGE DESTROYS VALUABLE RESOURCES AND IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. |
