The Blue Mountain Singletrack Club along with Union County Commissioners
and the Oregon State Parks ATV Committee has purchased the Mount Emily Recreation
Area (see maps
and study). The vast majority of Union County voters in the May primary
voted to support the Union County Commissioners as they work to see Mt Emily
retained for public use forever, to not be clearcut or subdivided and to
be a producer or natural resources and public recreation--forever. FCP and
the Coalition have agreed to work together to ensure the Coalition's goal
for the property can be met

Our Mission . . . . .
The Blue Mountain Singletrack Trails Club, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
of La Grande Oregon, is dedicated to developing, maintaining, and enhancing
a network of environmentally sustainable trails in Northeast Oregon for
seasonal use by runners, hikers, x-country skiers, equestrians, and mountain
bicyclists. Our goal is to acquire the proposed Mt Emily Recreation Area
to ensure, for perpetuity, that it continues to be a producer of wildlife,
water, timber, and related natural resources, is a showcase of sustainable
resource conservation practices, and provides diverse opportunities for
public recreation.
Our Motto . . . . . Enjoy, but don't Destroy!
If the mud is sticking to your tires or your steed's hooves, please do
not ride on the singletrack trails . . . . . just delay and come back another
day when the mud has had a chance to dry — or restrict your ride to
the rock-surfaced roads.
