2020 Amended Administrative Decision

The 2008 Administrative Decision that temporarily restricts summer motorized travel on a portion of the Rex Trail to vehicles 1,500 lbs or less has been amended to allow the following motorized vehicles during the fall hunt via an Over-The-Counter (OTC) Permit:

1. Rubber tracked vehicles up to 26,000 lbs curb weight
(e.g. Foremost Nodwell 110); and

2. Wheeled vehicles up to 10,000 lbs curb weight.

This amendment to replaces the 2009 Amended Administrative Decision, which authorized rubber tracked vehicles up to Nodwell 110 in size via an OTC Permit. This 2020 Amended Administrative Decision adds larger wheeled vehicles to those which may be authorized under an OTC permit, clarifies the nature of what constitutes a trailer, updates the OTC permit stipulations, and details conditions of trail damage that will trigger automatic termination of this amendment (and the OTC permit program).

Individuals who wish to obtain a permit must apply to the DMLW and pay a permit fee of $240. All fees for the DMLW were updated and increased on July 1, 2018 pursuant to updated state regulation 11 AAC 05 as modified by the current Director's Fee Order. All other conditions as noted in the original 2008 Administrative Decision remain in effect. Permits will be issued annually and be effective from August 27, 2021 through April 15, 2022. This amendment was implemented on August 28, 2020 and will remain in effect until April 15, 2025, unless extended or superseded by another decision.

The 2020 Amended Decision, the 2008 Administrative Decision, and required permit application, are available on this website, as well as recent updates on Rex Trail management activities and the 2016 Monitoring Report.
