They think it is from excessive use of ATV/ OHV use and want to stop use immediately before it gets into the Red Riiver.
They are giving the area a three weeks notice to inform the local community by newspaper. It will be gated and trespassers will be prosecuted and largely fined. No other information about re-opening the area has been planned.

It might be a joke now, but it sounds awfully familar. The same way it started in Tenn/N Carolina with the area everyone calls Tellico. Except there it is about the "trout habitat".
If anyone is interested, here is a link to a forum that has a ton of info about what is going on with the Tellico, and what has happened to the trails there.
