RANDOLPH, Utah. April 1,
2015. David Harris, Regional Manager of
Utah State Parks, reported to the Rich County commissioners that the State Parks are supportive of having a
gun range in this area. As far as
selecting a location, however, they feel that should be a County decision. If the current location is acceptable to the
County it would be acceptable to the State Parks. If the County decides to consider other
locations, State Parks would be willing to participate in the evaluation of those
sites. In either case, however, the State
Parks feel that a public hearing of the matter should be held so that people
who would be impacted would have a voice in the decision.
The Commissioners said that there is an organization planning to look
at tourist issues from the Idaho border through the Bear Lake area. That study would likely touch on such issues
as parking and turning lanes along areas where visitors want to get to the lake. That study might be able to also consider the
impact of gun range ingress/egress on the traffic in the area of the facility. A target date for a public hearing regarding
the gun range would be sometime after Memorial Day. Harris also indicated that State Parks is
excited about the benefits of a Marina Expansion if that happens
