This National wilderness area is one of the best places to go east of the Mississippi. It has good hiking, great scenery, horse trails, caves, river walks, fishing, wildflowers, etc. Our first time there, but highly recommend it to travelers who like wilderness areas.

What a huge park/recreation area! We decided to visit during spring break, which seemed to be the off season. There are miles and miles of surprisingly well-maintained gravel roads and 4x4 accessible roads that were a real treat for those that were in in our group that don't hike.

You can do most anything in this area, open to canoe's to kayaks, hikes, there is a little something for everyone, if you love the outdoors, don't miss this area!

Made many, many trips to BSF during high school and college. So many hiking trails ideal for 1-5 nights. Lots of streams and rivers. Lots of wildlife. Very lush (rainforest). Check out twin arches, slave falls and cherit creek hostel (among other sights).

Bandy Creek Campground is marvelous with heated bathhouses and hot showers. Numerous hiking options, with Angel Falls Overlook and Twin Arches being two of my favorites. Maybe a somewhat unknown and therefore underused park, but that's changing. Beat the rush and check it out before it begins to get crowded.

This is a fantastic place to ride your horses! Trails upon trails...the best place to ride out of is Bandy Creek!!!!!

Sadly, I have seen the once pristine area fall victim to litterbugs and vandals, graffiti is scrawled on rocks, bridges, signs, trees,... More
