HARKERS ISLAND, NC –The National Park Service (NPS), Cape Lookout National Seashore (Seashore) will be releasing a proposed rule for Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) management for a sixty day public comment period beginning on Friday, December 18, 2015. The NPS proposes to designate routes for, and manage off-road vehicle use within the Seashore. Under the NPS general regulations, the operation of motor vehicles off roads is prohibited unless authorized by special regulation. The proposed rule would authorize off-road vehicle use at the Seashore through a permit system and establish operational and vehicle requirements.
