Summary

Clear Creek National Recreation Area and Conservation Act Establishes the Clear Creek National Recreation Area in the state of California to promote environmentally responsible off-highway vehicle recreation and to support other public recreational uses, including hunting, hiking, and rock and gem collecting. Instructs the Department of the Interior to use the 2005 Clear Creek Management Area Travel Management Plan as modified by this bill or by Interior to incorporate natural resource protection information unavailable in 2005 as the basis for an interim management plan to govern off-highway vehicle recreation in the Recreation Area. Requires Interior to create a comprehensive management plan for the Recreation Area within two years of the enactment of this bill. Requires landowners to be provided with adequate access to inholdings within the Recreation Area. Permits livestock grazing to continue in areas of the Recreation Area in which it is allowed as of the enactment of this bill. Designates approximately 21,000 acres of identified federal lands in Fresno and San Benito Counties, California, to be known as the Joaquin Rocks Wilderness, as wilderness and as a component of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to add the Larious Canyon, San Carlos Creek, Cantua Creek, Picacho Creek, and White Creek and its tributaries as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Releases the San Benito Mountain Wilderness Study Area from specified requirements applicable to public lands subject to a wilderness review.
