Recreational Activities
Fremont-Winema National Forests
Recreation Opportunities
Whether
seeking solitude or a family get away, the Fremont-Winema National Forests
offer a wide array of activities. Fishing, hunting, backpacking, hiking, camping,
boating, and leisure driving opportunities abound. In the winter, snowmobiling,
cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing are popular activities.
The Forests' diverse habitats also support a variety of species, making wildlife
viewing a unique recreation experience. Big game, such as mule deer, Rocky
Mountain elk, and pronghorn antelope, all populate the Forests. Several varieties
of trout inhabit lakes and streams, as well as warm-water fish, such as large
mouth bass. In the spring and fall, migrating geese, ducks and swans are in
abundance. Large predators, such as black bears, mountain lions, and bobcats,
also live in the Forests.
Call ahead (see the Contacts section for addresses
and phone numbers) for the latest information. This is an index of recreation
sites by category. We also have a big
map showing some of the sites as well as a site amenities
guide, information about
the trail systems, and Trails
Condition Reports as they become available.
At the bottom of each guide there is a link to a map showing how to locate
the site. Some guides also have links to photos ()
or computer animations.
Fees are charged for some of the campgrounds, picnic areas, and trails.
For more information on our individual fees, please see our Passes
and Permits section. Trash removal is provided at a few of the sites but
not at most. Please help us keep
these sites free by packing out your trash!
In addition to the general regulations for using
recreation sites, special restrictions or closures may be in effect during periods
of high fire danger. Check with a Forest Office or the "NEWS" section of the Fremont-Winema
National Forests Home Page.
