Trail into Cooper Lake

12/10/2015

 
​I received a note from a friend. "Thought your club might be interested in this damage to the Cooper Lake trail.  These quads are totally out of control with their pushing trails to alpine lakes..."

The Regional Executive Director Says

"The Cooper Lake Trail was formally established in 1997 with the management objective of providing non-motorized recreation opportunities, such as hiking and mountain biking, in a forested subalpine setting...  since the lake 1990s the trail has experienced indiscriminate and increasing motorized use from off-road vehicles (ORVs)"

"A wide variety of efforts have been made to prevent the escalated use of motorized use of the trail, including physical barriers, signage, surveillance cameras compliance and enforcement paroles and violation tickets."

Members of the public can assist by reporting witnessed infractions to the Natural Resource Violations Tip Line or calling the toll-free hotline at updated: 1 877-952-7277 (out-dated: 1-844-676-8477) - Ministry of Forestry, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations
