How to use this directory :

1. Use a standard highway map to locate the main roads and towns along your route.

2. Use the index map in the center of this booklet to locate the national forest through which you will travel.

3. National forests are listed in alphabetical order.

4. Camp and picnic grounds within each national forest are listed by major U. S. and State highways. If a camp is located on a side road, the location of the turnoff and the distance from the turnoff to the camp are listed. There are usually signs at such turnoffs and the camps are 1o$arked by distinctive Forest Service signs along the , . 832G3 PUBLIC CAMP AND PICNIC GROUNDS IN THE NORTHERN REGION

This directory lists the Forest Service improved public camp and picnic grounds in the national forests of the Northern Region. An index map in the center of this boolcef shows the locations of the 16 national forests.

Some camps have space and facilities for only two or three fami- lies or separate parties at one time; others can accommodate a score or more separate camping or picnicking groups. Camps are planned with generous spacing between family and group units to give as much privacy and isolation as possible.

A camping “unit” is the space and facilities for one camping party. This directory lists the number of such units in each camp. Minimum facilities at improved camps include parking and tent spaces, tables and benches, fireplace grates, toilets and garbage recep- tacles. Wood, sometimes but not always cut in stove lengths, is available on the site or nearby. Water is generally available—piped in some places, but often from nearby lakes or streams only.

A few areas are designed for picnicking only. These are identified in the descriptions of individual sites.

Small camp trailers are permitted in most of the camps. Some of the camps have parking space for larger house trailers. Before taking a large house trailer into a camp, it is advisable to inquire lo-

cally about the suitability of the site for trailers and, if necessary, to personally examine the area to avoid the possibility of getting into a serious “jackpot.” There are no utility connections for trailers at any of the camps.

There are no charges for using any of the camps except Samo- wen, Luby Bay, Reeder Bay and Outlet Bay on the Kaniksu National Forest. These are operated by a concessionaire who is authorized to collect a nominal fee in return for his caretaking services.

Most of the camps are near good hunting, in season, and almost all of them are on lakes or streams open to fishing under rules of the State Fish and Game Department. Camps near good boating water are identified by the term “boating” in the descriptions. Developed swimming facilities with bathhouses are available at Samowen and Reeder Bay. A few other campgrounds are located on lakes with attractive beaches, but have no developed swimming facilities.

1 NATIONAL FOREST RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES

National forests are open to all. There are no entrance fees. Visitors are welcome to enjoy a variety of recreation opportunities and facilities provided in the sixteen national forests in the Northern Region of the United States Forest Service. Within the boundanes of these national forests, located in northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, and northwestern South Dakota, are nearly 25,000,000 acres of publicly owned lands, dedicated to the sustained- yield production—on a coordinated multiple-use basis—of water, timber, forage, and wildlife resources. In addition, these lands provide mineral wealth and unique recreation opportunities.

Recreation use is one of the basic resources of the national forests. Huge areas have been set aside as wilderness or wild areas; public camps and picnic grounds have been developed; organization camps, commercial resorts, packer and guide services, and public service con- cessions of various kinds are available—all designed to meet an ever- increasing public demand for recreation opportunities and facilities.

The national forests, during seasons and under regulations of State Fish and Game Departments, provide some of the best hunting and fishing in the United States. A State fish and game license is required for enjoying these sports. ENJOY YOUR NATIONAL FOREST VACATION

2 CAMPFIRES, SANITATION AND VANDALISM

Campfire permits are not required in the national forests of the Northern Region. During critical fire weather some areas may be closed to smoking or to all travel. These areas will be signed.

A shovel, ax and bucket should be carried in your car. You’ll need them in camp and will find them handy to put out your campfires. Montana State law requires such equipment when traveling on forest lands from May 1 to September 30 each year. A similar regu- lation is in effect in the national forests in other states during the fire season. Discharging fireworks is prohibited in the national forests.

Always leave a clean, sanitary camp—as you would like to find it. Take pains to prevent water pollution. It may be your drinking water. Fish and clothing should not be cleaned in lakes and streams. Garb- age should be placed in containers provided at camps and picnic grounds or buried away from streams.

Tables, latrines, shelters and other facilities are provided for your enjoyment and convenience. Taxpayer dollars are used to construct and maintain them. Take good care of them—and be sure your campfires and smokes are dead out before you leave.
