Tourism and Activites

This area today is most visited for its extensive trail systems, its pristine lakes and creeks, and its hot springs. A short 1.5 mile hike on Hot Springs trail will bring you to the Bagby Hot Springs location.

Other hikes include the Pansy Lake Trail, a 7.5 mile loop which will pass you by Pansy Lake as well as Bull of the Woods Peak.


Fishing is a common activity throughout the streams and lakes in this area. A very scenic 8.7 mile hike along Elk Lake Trail will take you to Elk Lake which resides on the edge of the wilderness area.
