HARKERS ISLAND, NC – On January 10, 2017, the National Park Service (NPS) Southeast Regional Director signed the Record of Decision (ROD) for the Cape Lookout National Seashore’s Final Off-Road Vehicle Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement (Final Plan). The Final Rule will be implemented following the plan's publication in the Federal Register.
