Multiple Use Groups Endorse Trail Closure

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:47:01 UT

Just before Memorial Day weekend 2006, representatives of two groups promoting multiple use of public lands erected a sign announcing the closure of a trail in the Hovland area. Why would the Arrowhead Coalition for Multiple Use (ACMU) and the Cook County ATV Club endorse a trail closure? According to representatives of these groups, it is part of the effort by these groups to work with other forest users and to demonstrate their commitment to protection of our natural resources. The "trail closed" signs were erected at the entrance to a historically used snowmobile trail called the Royal River Trail by the US Forest Service and the Tilbury Trail by local users. The trail, sometimes called the South Fowl Lake snowmobile access, was closed in 2002 because it had been found to be encroaching on the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).

The Arrowhead Coalition for Multiple Use (ACMU), a group formed in December 2005 which states that its mission is to promote multiple use of forest lands in the Arrowhead Region of Minnesota has elected board members and identified several issues that it is concerned about, such as US Forest Service land sales and an all-terrain vehicle trail system.

Fowl Lakes lawsuit continues

Rhonda Silence — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:36:33 UT

Another hearing was held in Minneapolis District Court on Friday, January 19, 2007, to hear further arguments in the lawsuit regarding a snowmobile trail reroute in the Hovland area. The lawsuit has become as much about Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) boundaries as it is about the proposed construction of a snowmobile trail.

With BWCAW lawsuits, paddlers are the losers

A recent story in the Ely Timberjay may greatly interest anyone who enjoys the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, but it is unlikely most paddlers will ever see the story or be aware of the issues it raised. However, on their next visit to the wilderness, paddlers may notice dirty latrines, eroded portages, and other evidence of cutbacks in on-the-ground maintenance and management.

ACMU Applauds Court Decision on Fowl Lakes

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:25:43 UT

The Arrowhead Coalition for Multiple Use (ACMU) was pleased to hear the long-awaited decision by Judge John R. Tunheim regarding the North and South Fowl Lakes in Cook County. On August 31, 2007, Judge Tunheim found that the Fowl lakes are outside of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). However, the decision answers only a portion of the legal questions surrounding the Hovland lakes and a proposed US Forest Service snowmobile trail reroute. Tunheim did not yet issue a ruling on the other facets of the lawsuit-whether or not the Forest Service performed due diligence in assessing potential adverse impacts on the BWCAW associated with the trail reroute and whether visual and auditory impacts associated with the trail justify a protective buffer around this portion of the BWCAW.
