Recreation Sites

Many activities take place in the District. Camping, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, hunting, sightseeing, rock hounding, snowmobiling, bird watching, cross-country skiing, and mountain biking are some of the recreational activities that draw visitors from every state and other countries annually. Special use activities occur by permit. These activities include commercial pack and guided trips, tours, organized off-highway vehicle events, running camps, equestrian endurance races, and competitive and/or large group events. Utility corridors, access roads, timber haul roads, and similar land uses are permitted through issuance of rights-of-way and/or temporary conveyances to facilitate public needs.
