The Bureau of Land Management will temporarily close portions of the Millican Plateau and North Millican off-highway vehicle trail systems June 5-7 for an annual side-by-side race. The racecourse and several access points into the area will be closed for the safety of participants and the public.
Security personnel will be stationed at entrance points along the racecourse throughout the weekend. Flaggers and signage will also be present along George Millican Road and at entrance points on the racecourse.
“We’re committed to providing recreation opportunities while keeping everyone safe,” said Lisa Clark, Deschutes Field Office Manager. “With more than 250 miles of trails within the Millican Plateau, North Millican, and South Millican OHV Trail Systems, visitors can still access a wide range of riding locations during the event.”
Alternate trail systems include the South Millican OHV Trail System, located south of Highway 20 from George Millican Road, and the Cline Buttes area west of Redmond.
The high-quality trails and facilities within the Millican Valley OHV Trail System are collaboratively managed by the Central Oregon Combined Off Highway Vehicle Operations (COHVOPS). COHVOPS is a partnership which includes the Prineville District BLM, Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests, and Oregon Parks and Recreation ATV Program.
