Activities in the area include mountain biking or hiking along the Percy Lake Trail, Divide Trail, Buffalo Park Trail, Rabbit Ears Peak Trail or Service Creek Trail. The Fish Creek Falls Trail is nearby and the area has conifer, evergreens and sage, streams and meadows full of flowers. Fishing in Walton Creek or Dumont Lake, and Lake Catamount is nearby offering trout fishing and panoramic beauty. Wildlife watching and birding are popular in the area. You may encounter Moose, elk, deer, bobcat and more. Be aware, you are in bear country, so use extreme caution when storing food. Due to the Mountain Pine Beetle, damaged trees have been culled from the area, which may alter the amount of shade within the campground.
