Summary:

GAO reported in 1990 (GAO/RCED-90-27) that the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in central Idaho had not been developed, operated, and maintained up to the levels and standards called for in Forest Service policy and in individual recreation areas' plans, primarily because of funding shortfalls. GAO noted that 663 campsites included in the Sawtooth plan and needed to support visitor trends had not been built and that visitor services, such as ranger patrols in the wilderness and campground talks, had been cut back severely. In response to congressional concerns that these shortfalls are continuing and that the Forest Service may not be fulfilling its mission of enhancing the recreational values in Sawtooth, this report provides information on (1) funding for the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, (2) its accomplishments and unmet needs, and (3) Forest Service actions that have had an adverse impact on the area.
