The South Fork and North Fork of Soldier Creek trails begin along Forest Road 093 near the campground and connect to a major network of trails throughout the Soldier Mountains, offering opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and backpacking. Winter activities include cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
