A group representing off-road vehicle owners has withdrawn a lawsuit it filed against the U.S. Forest Service over the temporary closing of trails.
The agency barred four-wheelers from some trails in the Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee and the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina after concerns about erosion that washed soil into streams that feed the Tellico River.
Greg Mumm, a spokesman for the four-wheeler groups, told the Chattanooga Times Free Press the Forest Service would have a public planning process that could affect the decisions that sparked the lawsuit.
Forest Service spokesman Terry Sidon in North Carolina said a public meeting is planned within the next few months after public comments on the issue are reviewed.
