OHV Safety Week Comes to Indian Valley: Free Nov. 14 Event Teaches Safe Riding, Hands Out Trail Maps
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management's Ukiah Field Office and its partners invite the public to celebrate OHV Safety Week at the Indian Valley Management Area, on the eastern edge of Lake County, California. The free, family-friendly event runs Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and no registration is required.
The event begins at the Walker Ridge Day Use Area, just north of the State Highway 20 and Walker Ridge junction. Staff and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and discuss how visitors can enjoy off-highway vehicle recreation while riding safely and responsibly.
Visitors can learn about OHV safety, first aid tips, responsible riding practices and available training opportunities. Free trail maps, safety checklists, information about current land use regulations and brochures on the area and responsible recreation will be available. Light refreshments will be provided, and all attendees will receive BLM OHV and fire educational material. Participants are encouraged to bring snacks or a sack lunch, sun protection and any required off-highway vehicle safety gear.
North of State Highway 20, the Indian Valley Management Area offers rolling chaparral-covered hills dotted with oak and pine, an ideal setting for hunting, camping, bicycling, hiking and equestrian use. Popular game animals include blacktail deer, black bear, quail, dove and wild turkey, and wildflower enthusiasts can find pockets of the rare Indian Valley brodiaea and adobe lily.
The BLM reminds visitors to stay within designated riding areas, respect other recreationists, and use extra caution when traveling on foot near OHV routes. Numerous routes in the area offer sweeping views.
