Last Known Status

This remote recreation area offers two campgrounds and a day use area that provide direct access to miles of designated ATV trails that wind through the Little Rocky Mountains. There is no fee for using the day use area or for riding the trails but a small fee is charged for camping.

The area is very quiet and secluded but the campground offers some basic amenities that include picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms and three drinking fountains. Basic supplies, lodging and RV hookups can be found at the nearby town of Zortman.
