  • Camp at least 150 feet from the creek.
  • Practice “Leave No Trace” and pack out what you pack in.
  • No motorized uses are allowed except on approved routes.
  • Be careful with fire. Completely extinguish campfires before leaving. Build campfires in areas free of flammable materials to prevent wildfire. Use only dead and down fuels. No firewood cutting allowed.
