LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. - The Bureau of Land Management Lake Havasu Field Office invites public participation in the review of the Bouse and Cactus Plain Travel Management Plan and Environmental Assessment. The plan and environmental assessment involve the communities of Parker and Bouse in La Paz County, Arizona. The documents have been released for public review and input through an online platform and there will be two open house meetings scheduled for mid-June.   

Travel management is a comprehensive approach to the administration of travel and transportation networks of roads, primitive routes, trails and areas. This planning includes the inventory and mapping, route designations, and other measures necessary for providing access to and across public lands for a variety of uses by right-of-way holders, recreational users, grazing allotment permittees, mining claim holders and more.

The open houses are scheduled for Tuesday, June 12 at the Bouse Booster Club from 4 to 7 p.m. and Wednesday, June 13 at Parker High School from 4 to 7 p.m. BLM staff will be available for discussion, and maps of the travel network alternatives will be on display for review at the following locations:
