Four of the group picnic sites on the Forest require reservations and a fee. Reservations for Evans Creek may be made by calling the Laramie Ranger District. Reservations for Ryan Park may be made by calling the Brush Creek Ranger District. Reservations for Bottle Creek may be made by calling the Hayden Ranger District. The Forest is ideal for short hiking trips.
Trails vary as to length, degree of difficulty and amount of use.
Extensive areas of remote backcountry do not exist for more lengthy trips however, the wilderness areas are adequate for a trip of 4 to 7 days. Most hiking is done in summer and early fall. The Forest offices a variety of primitive roads for the 4-wheel drive enthusiast. Most are quite rough, and few are maintained. If you drive an OHV on any public road, including Forest Service roads, it must meet motorcycle standards.
