FILLMORE, Utah–The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Little Sahara Recreation Area Visitor Center will close for the winter season from Dec. 1, 2018 to late-February 2019. While the visitor center is closed, the recreation area will remain open to the public. Vault toilets will also remain open during the visitor center closure. Flush toilets and flush/dump stations are turned off to prevent facility damage from freezing winter temperatures.
A day-use fee of $18 per vehicle or the display of an annual pass is required for entry. The day-use fee can be paid via the fee station’s self-pay tubes, located at the entrance to the recreation area. Annual passes and gift certificates are available for purchase at the BLM Fillmore and Salt Lake field offices.
The BLM encourages members of the public to take all appropriate safety measures – including riding with a partner, using protective equipment, and wearing clothing suited to adverse weather conditions. Staff will continue to patrol the recreation area, however, visitors should call 911 in the event of an emergency. Non-emergencies should be reported to the Juab County Sheriff’s Office at (435) 623-1626.
