PROTECTING NATURAL RESOURCES


  • Protect fragile vegetation; stay on the trail.
  • Fly-fishing-only regulations apply to the stretch of the North Umpqua River from Rock Creek to the Soda Springs Dam. Steamboat Creek is closed to all fishing.
  • Pack it in, pack it out. Leave nothing behind!
  • Wash with biodegradable soap, away from open water.
  • Be sure your matches are completely out. Crush and pack out all cigarettes.
  • Carry feed for stock as natural food is scarce. Hobble or high-line stock; do not tie to trees. Keep stock 100 feet from streams except when watering.
  • Stream water is easily contaminated by human or animal wastes. If no toilets are available, bury solid waste in "cat holes" 6-8 inches deep, 200 feet from water, campsites, and trails. Pack out toilet paper.
  • Motorized vehicle trail use is prohibited.

AVOID THIS PLANT - POISON OAK! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poison Oak is widespread from Swiftwater (Tioga Segment) to Toketee, growing as a shrub or a vine. The oil is contained in ALL parts of the plant, and when touched, may cause a burning, itching rash lasting from days to weeks. Wash immediately and thoroughly if you touch any part of the plant. Reactions vary and may require medical attention.
