Recreation Sites

If your walk on the wild side is limited to day trips, the Tongass provides a chance to watch fish navigate upstream, enjoy a picnic around a campfire or just enjoy a quiet time in the great outdoors. Recreation facilities range from developed picnic areas, many near fishing holes, to fish passes, to rustic benches along nature trails. Check with local ranger districts for the best places to enjoy the activity you're interested in. If you want a fire, bring your own wood supply and make sure the fire is contained in an approved fire ring and that it's completely out before you leave. Even a rain forest will burn during dry weather.
