A draft regulation allowing bicycles on new sections of trails at Sope Creek in the Cochran Shoals unit of is now available for comment on the Federal Register until September 30.
"This is part of the standard process for any new federal regulation," said park superintendent Patty Wissinger. "The new regulation basically enacts the bicycle trail use plan that was adopted in the 2010 Environmental Assessment Proposed Trail Connection."

The National Park Service draft regulation primarily focuses on the newly constructed trails at Sope Creek in the Cochran Shoals Unit of the park.
