The National Park Service (NPS) has announced a new rule authorizing nearly 80 miles of trails for bicycle and e-bike use at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area in northern California. This move is part of an effort to expand responsible recreation access in the area.
Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, known for its diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes, will soon offer more options for outdoor enthusiasts. The new rule will allow cyclists to explore the park’s scenic trails, providing a new way to engage with the park’s natural beauty.
The decision comes as part of a broader initiative by the NPS to increase access to national parks and diversify the types of recreational activities available to visitors. The aim is to encourage more people to enjoy the outdoors responsibly and sustainably. This rule is expected to attract a new demographic of visitors to Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, boosting local tourism and promoting physical activity in the great outdoors.
