4.2.1.3Equestrian Trails

Equestrian Trails are found in all parts of Duchesne County. The Uinta Mountains are a known pack trip destination and high mountain trails are abundant in the north part of Duchesne County. Efforts are being made by the Forest Service, Backcountry Horseman and others to document and maintain these trails. Some of the trails in this area are no longer shown on forest maps such as the trails in Jefferson Park, Crow Canyon, and Hades Creek to the Grandview Trailhead. Equestrian users are treated similar to hikers by the land management agencies in that most areas are considered open use and equestrian cross-country travel is permitted. Most of the trailheads in the northern mountains are Equestrian friendly. Uinta Basin Back Country Horsemen and individual users provided data for Equestrian usage.

4.2.1.4Cross Country Ski Trails

Roosevelt City allows cross-country ski use on the golf course during the wintertime when there is enough snow. The route is typically flagged in order to keep users off of the teeing grounds and greens. The PARC has discussed obtaining a groomer to keep the trail groomed on good snow years. Some use occurs along Rock Creek Canyon since the road is plowed to the Upper Stillwater Reservoir and there is good snow there.
