The Jackson Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest is inviting comments on five proposed projects in the Curtis Canyon area. The projects range from road repairs, increasing the size of the Curtis Canyon Campground, to relocating the Goodwin Lake Trailhead. Comments Must be received by March 3rd, 2023.
The Curtis Canyon area provides the closest opportunity for developed and dispersed camping to the town of Jackson. This has led to a heavy concentration of dispersed camping and off-highway vehicle use. Maintenance crews are unable to sufficiently maintain the current road surface, thus necessitating more substantial repairs. These factors have resulted in safety concerns, vegetation loss, poor visitor experience, and problems with human waste. The proposed projects aim to alleviate some of these pressures and provided for an improved visitor experience and more sustainable use in the future.
