Muddy Mountain Environmental Education Area

The EEA is divided into three areas: a Natural Area, an Developed Area and a Multi-Use Trails and Recreation Area. This division increases the spectrum of recreational opportunities The Natural Area is restricted to non-motorized recreational activities, including primitive camping, hunting and some commercial outfitting. The trail system inside the Natural Area accommodates hikers, mountain bikers and horseback enthusiasts. The Developed Area is the most popular area. Rim and Lodgepole Campgrounds as well as the Muddy Mountain Interpretive Nature Trail are located here. All camping in this area is restricted to developed sites and is limited to a two week stay. Fires are allowed only in the provided fire rings and weapons are not to be discharged anywhere within the Developed Area. All motorized travel is restricted to designated roads. Additional rules that restrict noise levels prohibit cutting of live trees and leash pets are posted at the entrance of each campground.
