Will add some deets here with a bit of history. Give me a minute.
News
This is one of the few WSAs that Barrasso’s bill (S.681) would turn into a Wilderness area. Glad to see this, it is a beautiful spot.
Access
Go to Odd Fellows Campground (or Encampment River Campground, depending on your map) just south of Encampment. From there you can get on the lovely Encampment River Trail, which takes you through the heart of the WSA. You can also get to the WSA from BLM road 405 and County Road 353. You can get a low-clearance vehicle here no problem.
Safety
Don’t drown. Ticks are abundant in the springtime.
Infrastructure
The Encampment River Trail goes all the way up to the Hog Park area. It is a great hike.
