GLENNALLEN, Alaska - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking comments on a proposal to extend a non-motorized hiking route near the Tangle Lakes Campground.
The BLM Glennallen Field Office proposes cutting brush, marking, and applying minimal construction techniques to the Tangle Ridge Trail starting in the campground. The proposal is an effort to expand hiking opportunities within the Glennallen Field Office Management area. It includes a plan to extend the route northward within the Delta National Wild and Scenic River corridor towards the Delta River falls portage. The route would cross the river before continuing back in a southerly direction towards the Denali Highway. Tread construction would occur on some ascending and descending portions of the route.
Work would begin in June of 2017 and will be performed by BLM employees with the assistance of a Youth Conservation Corps crew. The project is expected to take up to five years to complete.
Your comments and concerns will be considered in the development of an Environmental Assessment (EA) for this proposal. Please submit your comments on the Proposed Action and other issues to be considered to the address(es) noted below by Jan. 11, 2017.
