The Public Land Sell-off No One is Talking About: Miller Mountain Land Exchange Will Pay Private Landowner to Take Possession of 1800 Acres of Pristine Wyoming Public Land

Jun 9, 2025

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is currently considering the Miller Mountain Land Exchange in Wyoming, which proposes to trade away 1,802 acres of pristine mountain riverfront public land to a private corporation in exchange for lower quality desert lands along a separate river. On top of that, BLM will be paying the private corporation to acquire the pristine public land. This proposal raises serious concerns for the outdoor recreation community.

We are asking the public to comment against this against proposal, which can be done with the form at the end of this article. While the proposal began in 2015, BLM seems to have recently acted in haste to get this proposal approved. As such, the comment period closes this Wednesday, June 11th! So, don’t delay in submitting comments below.

For decades, 43 CFR § 8342.1 has quietly dictated how the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) designates off-road vehicle (OHV) access on public lands. On its face, the rule appears neutral, tasking land managers with determining whether lands are “open,”...
