ATTENTION YURT, CABIN & RAPIDS CAMPING AREA USERS
Why are the yurt walls taped up?  Fish and Game biologists found and euthanized a black bear that had slashed the vinyl covering of our 3 yurts in mid-June 2021.  The bear never breached the wooden lattice structure to gain access to the inside.  The yurts have been taped up for now and but will be replaced Spring 2022.  Although they don't look pretty, they are fine to use.  Remember that this is bear country:  take all precautions when cooking, eating and storing your food in the provided lockers.

Out trail crew is stocking the cabin and yurt woodsheds for cold weather use. 
Please use the firewood as sparingly as you can to preserve resources.  Gather dead wood on the forest floor or bring your own for campfires. 
​Please DO NOT cut live/green trees - they do not burn and it's just not cool.  Thank you!
