Those who love to hike and to explore will be pleased to find networks of trails by the river, and behind the campground. Wildlife sightings of eagles, deer, moose and bears are possible. We sell bear bells and bear spray in our store to help you feel more secure venturing out into the wilderness. Rent a gold pan and take it with you to the river and try your skill at this western tradition. A “how to pan for gold” video runs in the store.

Wild blueberries are a natural ground cover at the campground and on all trails in Blue River. Enjoy picking (and eating) from late July through early September.

Wild mushrooms of all varieties start appearing in mid-July and keep on appearing until the fall frost. They are everywhere and of many unusually types.
