Welcome to Winter on the Payette National Forest.The Winter
Travel Map for the Payette National Forest identifiesdesignated
routes and open play areas for over the snow motorvehicle use for
the Payette National Forest. Over the snow vehicles are defined as:
“a motor vehicle that is designed for use over the snow and runson
tracks and/or ski or skies while in use over the snow.” As defined
by Chapter 71, Title 67, Idaho Code:A “snowmobile” means any
self-propelled vehicle undertwo thousand (2000) pounds unladened
gross weight, designedprimarily for travel on snow or ice over
natural terrain, which may be steered by tracks, skies, or
runners.This map displays the Special Orderswritten to enforce
winter over-snow travel.The Forest-Wide Special Order (0412-541):
Closes portions of the Forest to over-snow motor vehicle use. These
restrictions were developed to protect resources, to provide
wildlife security, reduce hunting vulnerability for game species,
reduce degradation of water quality, protect riparian areas, to
provide for non-motorized recreation experiences, and to restore or
protect habitat for Threatened, Endangered, Candidate and Sensitive
species. Special Order (0412-546)Closes portions of the Granite
Mountain area annually to over-snowvehicle from January 15 – March
31. The Special Order, promotessafe experiences for winter
recreationists desiring back-countryskiing opportunities free of
snowmobile tracks (which arechallenging to ski through safely). The
popular east/west cat-ski route, known as the “Boulevard,” which
leads west from Goose Lake for 0.9 miles, will continueto be open
to snowmobiles. In addition, the Granite Lookout remains outside
the motorized closure. (See the enlarged detailed map.) Special
Order (0412-547)Implements a seasonal restriction of over-snow
motorized vehicleson snowcat routes within the Brundage Mountain
Resort cat ski permit boundaries from December 15 to March 31. The
Special Order closes snowcat routes within the permit boundaries to
motorized users as a direct line of travel. Motorized
recreationistsare still permitted to cross over the snowcat routes
withinBrundage Mountain Resort’s Permit boundaries except in
theGranite Mountain Area (See the above Closure Order 0412-547).
This order is in place to provide cat skiing opportunities and
reducesafety concerns regarding potential collision between
snowmobilerecreationists and the permitted snowcat.

The Payette National Forest has areas w
ith travel designations
regarding where and when motorized use m
ay be used. In som
e cases types of travel are designated to insure user
safety.
Designations have also been developed to provide and enhance
a
spectrum of recreational experiences, protect resources and
to
provide socio/economic benefits. Designations reflect results
of
decisions m
ade through administrative and National Environmental
Policy Act processes across the Forest.
Groomed snowmobile routes are managed under cost share
agreements between the Payette National Forest, the Idaho
Departm
ent of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) and Valley County.
The routes shown on this map may be adjusted due to snow
conditions and management objectives. Please note that not
all
over-snow groomed routes displayed on this map are groomed on
a
regular basis. Snow conditions and funding may lim
it some routes
from being groomed and temporary closures m
ay also occur.
Please check out the snowmobile grooming report to find
updated
