Cline Buttes Recreation Area Plan
Concept Map AThe Cline Butes Recreation Area is managed for a variety of trail uses. Non-motorized trails area provided in the Maston area, the Dusty Loop area provided in the Marston area, the Dusty Loop area and most of the Canyons (Secondary Wildlife Emphasis Area). Maston Area: The Red Ceinder Road is gated, a trailhead is located near Cline Falls Hwy. A larger trailhead is located off Newcomb road, which is open to motorized vehicles until it enters BLM close to the Deschutes River. Avariety of hiking, mtn biking, and horse trails are provided in the Maston Area. Trails are kept away from the canyon rim in the central portion of the area due to wildlife concerns. A hiking/biking specific trailhead is provided for the buttes. Trails are deginated for horses on the middle buttes, and for mtn bikes on south buttes. Larger trail loops are proposed, but are dependent on trail easements or links on State Land, the FAA withdrawl, or private property. OHV routes extend relatively far south in the area, however, few, if any motorized trails are located in the Canyons south of Hwy 126. Barr Road serves as a boundary for OHV use. A pasture fence may be relocated to run along Barr Road to help define the different use areas. The map shows the concepts and proposals for Concept A (click map to enlarge), below the map are the areas affected and a brief description about each area.

The 4,100 acre Maston Plateau area lies between Cline Falls Highway and the Deschutes River, and between Newcomb Road to the south, and Eagle Crest Resort to the north. Designated solely for non-motorized trail use in the UDRMP; the area would have a designated trail network created for pedestrians, equestrians, mountain bikers, and access to the Deschutes River. Two small isolated parcels of BLM extend east of the Deschutes River. These parcels are located at the west end of Jaguar and Quarry Roads; they would provide pedestrian-only access and trails to the Deschutes River. The 5,380 acre Buttes area is bordered by Highway 126 to the north, Barr Road to the west and south, and by Cline Falls Highway to the east. The buttes area was designated for an emphasis on non-motorized trail use in the UDRMP, although it was not specifically closed to all motorized use. Under all concepts, the Buttes would provide access and trails for pedestrians, equestrians, and mountain bikers. The 7,600 acre area north of State Highway 126 includes lands to the east and west of Buckhorn Road. This area was identified in the UDRMP for motorized use, on designated roads and trails. Under Concept A, the area north of State Highway 126 would provide opportunities for a wide spectrum of motorized users including motorcycle and quad riders, and Class II drivers. Excluding the Canyons area (see next section), the Central Plateau area can be roughly defined by Highway 126 to the north, Barr Road to the east, Innes Market Road to the south, and Fryrear Road to the west. Under Concept A, this area would provide opportunities for a wide spectrum of motorized users including motorcycle and quad riders, and Class II drivers, as well as separate trails for pedestrians and equestrians.
This area is located adjacent to Fryrear Road, and includes Fryrear Canyon, Dry Canyon, and Deep Canyon south of State Highway 126. In Concept A, the Canyons would provide access and trails for pedestrians and equestrians.
