Nellis Dunes National Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Act
of 2009, H.R. 765, has the potential of becoming very good
news for OHV enthusiasts living in the Las Vegas area. The
legislation, sponsored by Representative Dean Heller of
Nevada, would create an OHV recreation area of more than
10,000 acres by using lands owned by Clark County and the
Bureau of Land Management. The legislation would authorize
the conveyance of approximately 1,200 acres of BLM land to
Clark County so the County can develop an active off-highway
vehicle recreation park. An additional 9,000 acres would be
designated as an off-highway vehicle recreation area to be
managed by BLM.
