Washington Creek Road & Jefferson Gulch Road Summary

RESEARCH REOPENS ROADS AFTER OUTFITTER TRIES TO RESTRICT ACCESS

These roads leading to extensive public lands in the Lincoln Ranger District, Lewis & Clark National Forest, northeast of Avon , were padlocked closed by a landowner outfitter. After extensive research by PLAAI (now PLWA), the status of the roads as public roads was acknowledged by the Powell County attorney. Action was taken by the Powell County Sheriff to keep the roads permanently open.
