BLM seeks input for proposed Lamoille Summit trail system project
ELKO, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comments on the proposed Lamoille Summit Trail System located between Elko and Spring Creek, Nevada. The proposed project would consist of the construction of three trailhead/parking areas with approximately 47 miles of trails, designated as non-motorized and motorized use limited to class 1 e-bikes, on lands administered by the BLM.
The proposal would provide recreation opportunities for uses such as hiking, biking, equestrian, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Information kiosks and interpretive signs to improve public awareness would be placed at trailheads and along trails. The project would complement existing and proposed bike lanes along Lamoille Highway (SR277.)
Additional information, including the preliminary environmental assessment, is available at the BLM National NEPA Register, where comments can be submitted through the ‘Participate Now’ option (preferred). Comments may also be emailed to [email protected] or delivered to the BLM Tuscarora Field Office, Attn: Lamoille Summit Trail System, 3900 E Idaho Street, Elko, NV 89801. The comment period will close August 4, 2025.
For more information, please contact BLM Field Manager Elisabeth Puentes at [email protected] or (775) 753-0294.
