Recreation Sites & Activities

Most of the recreation sites in the Owyhee Field Office are semi-developed, which means that they provide only basic facilities for camping or day-use but no hook-ups for RVs. Tent camping is allowed and encouraged.

A substantial amount of self-sufficiency is required when navigating the area. There are few signs, which leaves much interpretation and decision-making to the traveler, as well as danger from natural hazards like poison ivy and rattlesnakes. Arrive prepared with proper equipment, maps, compasses, clothing and knowledge of the general area and weather conditions to help ensure a safe trip.

With proper preparation and precautions, visitors can explore without limits.  While exploring is encouraged and camping is allowed in non-designated areas, please remember to travel only on established roads and trails, leave no trace, and pack out what you pack in.
