Viva Naughton Cross-Country Ski Trail Now Open
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Kemmerer Field Office (KFO) has groomed the Viva Naughton Cross-Country Ski Trail and it is now open for public use.
The four-mile trail is primarily flat with some small hills. It is designed exclusively for the use of cross-country skiers and will be groomed once a week or as the weather dictates. There is no charge for using the trail.
The trail head is located at the north end of Lake Viva Naughton, 18 miles north of Kemmerer, Wyo. on Lincoln County Road 233, and is directly across from the snowmobile trail head parking lot.
For a map of the Viva Naughton loop, please visit the KFO at 312 Highway 189 N. in Kemmerer. For more information, call Wally Mierzejewski, outdoor recreation planner, at 307-828-4508.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, recreational and other activities on BLM-managed land contributed more than $130 billion to the U.S. economy and supported more than 600,000 American jobs. The Bureau is also one of a handful of agencies that collects more revenue than it spends. In FY 2012, nearly $5.7 billion will be generated on lands managed by the BLM, which operates on a $1.1 billion budget. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
