This campground (4 primitive campsites) along scenic Morgan Creek offers a
diverse terrain that creates an excellent songbird habitat. Sparrows,
thrashers and wrens flit in the sagebrush, and juncos, kinglets and
nutcrackers shelter in the forest. Big game in the area includes bighorn
sheep, pronghorn antelope and mule deer. Visitors can also continue along
Morgan Creek Road to reach the trailhead, which accesses the Frank Church
River of No Return Wilderness. Restroom and drinking water available. There
are no electric hook-ups. This site has limited cell service.

The Challis Foothills Trail System was planned and implemented through a joint
partnership with the Bureau of Land Management, Challis Field Office, City of
Challis, Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, Tread Lightly!, and the
Challis Community Trails Collaborative. The objective of the trail system is
to provide community connectivity within the City of Challis while encouraging
healthy lifestyles for local residents and visitors by participating in a
diversity of trail-based recreation experiences and activities. These trails
are open to mountain bikers (including Class I, II, and III electric
bicycles), hikers, runners, horseback riders, and winter users. Only specific
trail segments are open to motorized use. Please refer to the trail map for
specific trail use designations.
