The surrounding forest provides opportunities for mountain biking, and during appropriate seasons, hunting may be permitted with proper licenses. Always check local regulations before planning specific activities.

Silver Fork dispersed camping is located off a main road where you cross a bridge over the Silver Fork River. The camping area features three established sites that can be accessed by a trail to the right after crossing the bridge. The third site requires a bit more of a trek to reach, making it slightly more secluded than the first two sites.
