Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River Final General Management Plan/Environmental Impact Statement
Congress designated a segment of the Rio Grande in Texas as the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River in 1978 because of its 'outstandingly remarkable' scenic, geologic, fish and wildlife, and recreational values. A 196-mile strip of land on the American side of the Rio Grande in the Chihuahuan Desert protects the river. The responsibility for managing the wild and scenic river was given to the National Park Service at Big Bend National Park, but no management plan has been approved that would guide the long-term management of the wild and scenic river. The purposes of this General Management Plan / Environmental Impact Statement are to define a direction for the management of the Rio Grande Wild and Scenic River and to specify the resource conditions and visitor experiences to be achieved on the wild and scenic river. The plan is intended to provide a framework to help guide management programs and set priorities for the next 15 to 20 years.
