Off-Highway Vehicle Evaluation Model Step 1: Determine Park Mission Step 2: Understand Site Specifics Step 3: Understand Surrounding Location Step 4: Implementation Considerations Step 5: Understand the Internal Economic Considerations Step 5a: Additional Considerations (if applicable)
Consider if OHV use is compatible with the Park: • Mission • Current users • Current Activities
Is OHV entirely incompatible? No – continue Yes - Stop
Consider on Park OHV potential: • Sufficient acreage? • Significant impact to natural or cultural/historic
resources? • Significant aesthetic and acoustic impacts?
Can the park support on property OHV use? Yes – continue No - Stop
Consider staging area potential: • Adjoining public land with OHV use. • Nearby public land with OHV use. • Sufficient acreage. • Other park specific considerations.
Is there potential for Park to serve as OHV staging area? Yes – continue No - Stop
After determining potential for OHV use or staging area, consider viability of developing and implementing use
Consider the following: • Infrastructure costs to provide
recreation • Operational/maintenance costs. • Demand for Use • Potential Revenues.
Park has high potential for
OHV use
Is OHV development and use financial feasible and sustainable? Yes – continue No - Stop
Consider the following: • Community support • Liability and legal issues
Is it feasible to develop given these considerations? Yes – continue No - Stop
