ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - State Department of Fish and Game officials have restricted the use of off-road vehicles at three game refuges in the Matanuska-Susitna area because of low snow.
State regulations require ground frost and at least 12 inches of snow for the operation of snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles in the Susitna Flats, Goose Bay, and Palmer Hay Flats refuges.
The restrictions were announced Friday, with some exceptions.
