Oregon Recreation Enhancement Act

This bill would create two recreation areas on federal Bureau of Land Management land in Oregon: the Rogue Canyon Recreation Area (about 98,150 acres) and the Molalla Recreation Area (about 29,884 acres). It would add about 59,512 acres of federal land to the Wild Rogue Wilderness. Land in these areas, and certain federal land in Curry and Josephine Counties, would be closed to new mining claims, mineral and geothermal leasing, and land sales or transfers, subject to existing rights. The bill would require a wildfire risk assessment and a wildfire mitigation plan for the recreation areas and nearby federal land, and would generally bar new roads in the recreation areas except for public safety or wildfire work.
