Wilderness and Wilderness Study Areas
Objectives
Maintain the wilderness character of the Mountain Lakes Wilderness Study Area to comply with the BLM's Wilderness Interim Management Policy.
Land Use Allocations
The Mountain Lakes Wilderness Study Area is contiguous to the existing Mountain Lakes Wilderness Area and is a potential addition to this wilderness area.
Management Actions/Direction
Follow interim management guidelines for wilderness study until decisions are made by the Congress. Authorize no action that will diminish the suitability of these lands as wilderness. Take appropriate actions following Congressional decision.
The President has transmitted his recommendations to the Congress that Mountain Lakes Wilderness Study Area (330 acres) be designated as wilderness and be added to the existing Mountain Lakes Wilderness Area.
If not designated wilderness, the Mountain Lakes Wilderness Study Area (330 acres) will be managed as a Late-Successional/District Designated Reserve. Objectives will be for retention and maintenance of old growth, mature forest, and habitat diversity. Manage the area for primitive and semi-primitive non-motorized recreation opportunities.
