"The miles of canyons their diversely and severely eroded rock landscapes and their steep slopes create sense of isolation or solitude thereby enhancing the primitive recreation experience. Visitors traveling in or near the canyons are constantly aware of the forces of nature. Floating or hiking along the river and tributary streams gives sense of participation in the movements of natural forces."
♦ California bighorn sheep, bobcat, river otter, redband trout
≈ 31.4 miles of the South Fork are designated wild.
