Know Before You Go

Enjoy the Outdoors

Your national forests and grasslands provide a natural arena for a wide variety of fun and exciting outdoor activities. Some sites require a modest recreation fee to help provide the services and facilities at the site.  To help you get the most of our your experience, read these helpful tips:

 

Stay Safe

The beauty and peacefulness of the forest may make you feel carefree, but you must remain vigilant for potentially dangerous situations.

 

Brave the Elements

The weather can change suddenly and dramatically. Be prepared by monitoring weather conditions before you set out for the day. 

    Respect Wildlife

    We share the outdoors with a variety of animals who make the forest their home. Remember, these are not pets. Keep a safe distance from them and be careful not to disturb their habitat.
