Improvements Coming to Farnsworth Canyon Trailhead & Parking Area
The BLM Price Field Office has approved improvements to the existing parking area at the Farnsworth Canyon Trailhead, which provides access to the OHV single‑track Orange Trail. The action formalized and enhanced the previously informal parking area to improve visitor guidance, protect adjacent wilderness, and support responsible recreation.
As approved, the project set a clearly marked distinction between the OHV open segment and the start of the OHV limited route. A width‑restricting feature about 40 inches wide was placed at the trail entrance to allow access for full‑size dirt bikes while preventing entry by vehicles exceeding the motorized single‑track width limit. Total surface disturbance for the project is under one acre. These improvements were reviewed and approved through a Categorical Exclusion, with the BLM determining the project would not have significant environmental impacts and is consistent with applicable land use plans.
