Laughlin Heritage Trails & Arizona Heritage Trail

In 2011, DSG was contracted to implement the Bureau of Reclamation’s (BOR) mitigation measures of a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued to Clark County for the Laughlin Regional Trails project, which is within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area adjacent to the Colorado River. In 2016, DSG authored an EA for a 3.5-mile segment of trails along the river north of Bullhead City.  The EA was finalized in 2018 and includes two alternative corridors on land administered by BOR near Davis Dam.
