RECREATION FACILITY ANALYSIS

The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest has initiated the Recreation Facility Analysis process to help provide the best recreation opportunities in the right places.

FOREST RULES FOR VISITORS

As a visitor to the National Forests, you are asked to follow certain rules designed to protect the Forests and the natural environment, to ensure the health and safety of visitors, and to promote pleasant and rewarding outdoor recreation experiences for all visitors.

HELP US PROTECT YOUR FORESTS

Please preserve and protect your National Forests. To do this, try to leave natural areas the way you find them, by practicing "Leave No Trace" conservation ethics. Do not carve, chop, cut and damage any live trees. They have done nothing to deserve this treatment, and damaged trees cheapen the natural experience for others. Try to leave your camp or picnic site a little cleaner than you found it; the next visitor will thank you.

There are campgrounds on the Rogue River - Siskiyou National Forest that use the Pack it In, Pack it Out program for dealing with waste. This means that garbage cans are not provided. Campers are asked to bring their own garbage bags and take their garbage with them when leaving the campsite. While this seems like an inconvenience, the funds saved are used to provide additional recreational facilities. Do not bury litter; forest animals can smell it and will dig it up.
