Benjamin Harrison National Recreation Area and Wilderness Establishment Act of 2023

This bill establishes the Benjamin Harrison National Recreation Area (29,382 acres) and adds 15,300 acres to the Charles C. Deam Wilderness within Indiana's Hoosier National Forest. It requires the Forest Service to manage the area while protecting Monroe Reservoir's water quality, allowing existing recreational uses like hiking and mountain biking, and permitting hunting/fishing with possible seasonal or zone restrictions for safety or endangered species. The bill mandates a public advisory committee and a 5-year management plan addressing fire, invasive species, and trail maintenance, while preserving existing infrastructure access (e.g., utilities, emergency services) and using existing agency funds. It directly affects public recreation users, local communities, and federal/state agencies managing the land.
