To improve access and parking, reconstruction at the Desert Wells Multi-Use Area requires the popular off-highway-vehicle riding area to be closed starting Aug. 1 for up to 90 days, State Land Commissioner Lisa Atkins announced.

The entire Desert Wells Multi-Use Area will be closed during reconstruction, as the work involves its only entrance, near mile marker 207 on U.S. 60 southeast of Gold Canyon, Commissioner Atkins said.

The grading and leveling of the entryway and parking area is funded by grants from Arizona State Parks & Trails and the U.S. Highway Administration’s Recreational Trails Program.
