Petroglyph Point Site Plan

Lava Beds National Monument » Petroglyph Point Site Plan » Document List

Petroglyph Point, a detached unit of Lava Beds National Monument, contains the most concentrated rock art in the park, as well as one of the largest panels of Native American rock art in the United States. Petroglyph Point is considered one of the most sacred sites to the Modoc people. These unique and significant resources at Petroglyph Point are also considered one of the park's fundamental resources and values. The National Park Service will be preparing a new plan to address natural and cultural resource protection, facility development, visitor use, and other management needs. This plan will be developed with guidance from members and representatives of Lava Bed's two associated Native American Tribes, partners, stakeholders, and the public in compliance with legal and policy requirements. As a first step, we invite you to participate in our first public comment period.

Lava Beds National Monument is inviting public comment on preliminary concepts for the management of the Petroglyph Point unit.

During this comment period, the public is invited to learn about and comment on desired conditions and preliminary concepts for Petroglyph Point, which include improving the visitor experience, protecting the petroglyphs, ensuring the accessibility of trails, and enhancing interpretive features at the site.
