Leave the modern world behind at the Little Lake Creek Wilderness. Hike in the springtime, and you may never see another human on the trail. The forest here is a testament to recovery. At one point during the late 1800s, loggers cut down much of this forest.
Campgrounds sit in three distinct areas of the forest. Reserve developed or rustic spots early, especially during peak seasons.
