Recreational Activities - Camp Roosevelt

Elizabeth Furnace is open, but will remain on reduced services all summer. The reduced fees are $10.00 per night.

The CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) is gone, but their legacy still remains.  "The boys of Roosevelt" built many of the recreation areas, roads, and trails, enjoyed today.
