Do not make fires in the places mentioned above like the arches and other historic and natural sites. There are other small privately owned places to stay in and around the Big South Fork. If I am not camping in the great outdoors, my personal preference is the Comfort Inn at exit 141. This is a fast growing area and a lot will change in the next few years. Incidentals Warm spring and summer days will bring out the gnats and mosquitoes.
Deer ticks are also prevalent.
Poison Ivy is present and more abundant in the gorge areas. Hunters are allowed to hunt the Big South Fork. The most dangerous time is in the Fall from October through December. Stronger signals can be had at gorge rim and open areas with few trees. All rights reserved.
