    (a) In General.--
            (1) Boundary adjustment.--The boundary of the Arapaho 
        National Forest in the State of Colorado is adjusted to 
        incorporate the approximately 92.95 acres of land generally 
        depicted as ``The Wedge'' on the map entitled ``Arapaho 
        National Forest Boundary Adjustment'' and dated November 6, 
        2013, and described as lots 3, 4, 8, and 9 of section 13, 
        Township 4 North, Range 76 West, Sixth Principal Meridian, 
        Colorado.
            (2) Limitation.--A lot described in paragraph (1) may be 
        included in the boundary adjustment only after the Secretary of 
        Agriculture obtains written permission for the inclusion from 
        the lot owner or owners.
    (b) Bowen Gulch Protection Area.--The Secretary of Agriculture 
shall include all Federal land within the boundary described in 
subsection (a) in the Bowen Gulch Protection Area established under 
section 6 of the Colorado Wilderness Act of 1993 (16 U.S.C. 539j).
    (c) Land and Water Conservation Fund.--For purposes of section 
200306(a)(2)(B)(i) of title 54, United States Code, the boundaries of 
the Arapaho National Forest, as modified under subsection (a), shall be 
considered to be the boundaries of the Arapaho National Forest as in 
existence on January 1, 1965.
    (d) Public Motorized Use.--Nothing in this Act opens privately 
owned land within the boundary described in subsection (a) to public 
motorized use.
    (e) Access to Non-Federal Land.--
            (1) Definition of covered access point.--In this 
        subsection, the term ``covered access point'' means land within 
        the boundary described in subsection (a)--
                    (A) owned by the United States on or after the date 
                of enactment of this Act; and
                    (B) historically used by owners of any non-Federal 
                land within the boundary described in subsection (a) to 
                access that non-Federal land.
            (2) Motorized access authorized.--Notwithstanding the 
        provisions of section 6(f) of the Colorado Wilderness Act of 
        1993 (16 U.S.C. 539j(f)) regarding motorized travel, owners of 
        non-Federal land within the boundary described in subsection 
        (a) shall have the continued right of motorized access to that 
        non-Federal land across covered access points.
