Rough and Ready Flat has been a popular wildflower observation area for
decades where the evolution of new plant species (hybrids) is occurring. The
impetus to protect the area began in 1937 with the Illinois Valley Garden
Club. In 1994, a total of 1164 acres of BLM land surrounding Rough and Ready
Creek were designated an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) to
protect botanical, wildlife/fisheries, hydrologic systems and other natural
systems or processes.

## Know Before You Go:

  * A 0.3 mile long interpretive trail originates at the parking area and picnic shelter. Another picnic table is located near the trail’s end.
  * Activities here include: wildflower viewing, picnicking, hiking, nature study, and educational visits. The trail passes through an area protected for its special status plants and Serpentine ecosystem.
  * Please stay on the main trail to avoid erosion and disturbing sensitive vegetation.
  * No drinking water is available.
  * The area is open for day-use only from sunrise to sunset. Hours vary depending on season.

## Point of Interest:

Rough and Ready Flat is located in a region which is recognized as one of 200
biologically outstanding ecoregions in the world. It harbors a multitude of
rare or special status plants endemic to the serpentine soils of the Siskiyou
Mountains.

## Overview

Acorn Woman Peak Lookout was constructed in 1942. It is an L-4 style cabin,
and is on the National Historic Site Registry. The lookout is surrounded by
glass windows on all sides, providing visitors with an unparalleled view of
the steep drop-offs and breath-taking views of the rugged Siskiyou Mountains.
This historic lookout is available for rent during the snow-free season with a
maximum length of stay being 5 consecutive nights. Guests must bring most of
their own amenities.

## Recreation

The lookout is also a prime spot for nature and scenic photography due to the
stunning vistas provided. For visitors interested in astronomy, stargazing is
a popular activity on clear nights.

## Facilities

The 14 x 14 foot one room cabin is designed to house only one or two people,
and offers a primitive camping experience. The room is equipped with a small
wooden table, and the center of the building has a working Osborne Firefinder
on its work table. Broom, mop, and fire extinguisher are on site, as well as a
small storage box with toilet paper, forest and ranger district maps and
information about the lookout and its surroundings. A primitive vault toilet
is located near the lookout. No water is available on site, so guests must
pack in water for drinking, cooking and washing. Guests must also provide
their own camp stove, light source, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, towels, dish
soap, matches, cooking gear, and garbage bags.

## Natural Features

From the lookout, guests are treated to expansive views of the Red Buttes
Wilderness area, Acorn Woman Lake and the Little Applegate Valley. To the
north are far views of the Rogue Valley and Mt. McLaughlin and to the east is
Wagner Butte and Dutchman Peak. On a clear day, visitors can see the rim of
Crater Lake, Mt. Bailey and Mt. Thielsen. Clear nights provide guests with a
dazzling display of stars and planets.

## Nearby Attractions

The United States Congress designated the Red Buttes Wilderness in 1984 and it
now includes a total of 19,940 acres. Management of the Red Buttes Wilderness,
located on the California/Oregon border, is shared by the Klamath National
Forest and the Rogue River - Siskiyou National Forest. The majority of the
Wilderness lies within the boundaries of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National
Forest. Several lakes are accessible in the forest. Acorn Woman Peak looks
south to Acorn Woman Lakes, a semi-primitive developed recreation area that
accepts camping reservations from May through September. Applegate Lake is a
large reservoir with boat ramps, campgrounds, viewpoints and a developed
recreation area named Hart Tish. Both lakes are open for fishing year-round.

Hiking, birding, and wildlife viewing are popular among guests to this
lookout. Seasonal changes envelope the area as snow melt gives rise to spring
time flowers, and vivid autumn colors welcome a landscape blanketed with snow.
The Panther Ridge Trail is accessible from the facility and follows an
historic Native American travel corridor. Approximately 95% of this trail is
within the Wild Rogue Wilderness, and is closed to any kind of motorized
vehicles or equipment. The trail travels under magnificent stands of old-
growth timber and through rhododendron and scrub oak undergrowth. Another
notable trail is the nearby Coquille River Falls Trail. The hike switches back
and forth through a virgin stand of undisturbed Douglas-fir, hemlock, and
Port-Orford cedar trees, ending at the Coquille River Falls. Learn more about
the geology of waterfalls along the Coquille River.

## Facilities

The 16 x 16 foot one-room flat top cabin's furnishings include a single bed
and a small table and chairs. Due to recent vandalism to propane tank and
winter storm damage, there will be no propane heat, stove, refrigerator, and
lights available until the next 2026 season. Outside amenities include a
picnic table and campfire ring. A primitive vault toilet is located
approximately 100 feet from the tower. There is no water on site, so visitors
must bring plenty of their own for drinking, cooking and washing. Guests must
also supply their own food, cooking utensils, sleeping bags, sleeping pads,
towels, dish soap, matches, cooking gear, toilet paper and garbage bags.
Please bring your own light source. The site has sufficient space for one
small tent, but strong winds could blow a tent off the mountain unless
adequately weighted down inside.

## Natural Features

Visitors to the Bald Knob Lookout will be treated to spectacular views
overlooking Eden Valley to the north, the Rogue River to the south, and the
forests beyond.  
  
The unique character of the landscapes comprising the Rogue River-Siskiyou
National Forest has led to over 340,000 acres of the Forest to be preserved as
a designated wilderness area, and over 200 miles of streams as National Wild
and Scenic Rivers.  
  
Diverse landscapes provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife, from spotted
owls and bull elk to salamanders and sandhill cranes. These species, along
with many others, depend on the undeveloped wilderness, undisturbed wetlands,
clean streams, and diverse forests to live.

## Overview

In 2024, the Siskiyou Mountain Club partnered with the US Forest Service to
rebuild the Bolan Mountain Lookout after it burned down in the Slater fire in
2020. For more information on this project, check out this short film created
by Vincent DiFrancesco with the Siskiyou Mountain Club.
https://youtu.be/wJYSNzqWCVo

Bolan Mountain Lookout is surrounded by glass windows on all sides, providing
visitors with an unparalleled view of the sheer drop-offs sharp cliffs, and
breath-taking views of the rugged Siskiyou Mountains. The historic lookout is
available for rent during the snow-free season with a maximum length of stay
being 3 consecutive nights, and guests must bring several of their own
amenities.

## Recreation

Hikers may enjoy spending a day hiking the Bolan Lake Trail down to Bolan
Lake. Hemmed in by conifer forest, the lake is stocked with trout, and is an
ideal setting to enjoy fishing, non-motorized boating such as kayaking or
picnicking at its banks.  
  
The lookout is also a prime spot for nature and scenic photography due to the
stunning vistas provided. For visitors interested in astronomy, Stargazing is
a popular activity on clear nights.

## Facilities

The 14 x 14 foot one room cabin is designed to house a maximum of four people,
and offers a primitive camping experience. The 30 to 40 steps up to the
lookout are steep and uneven, so visitors should use caution when climbing to
the main cabin. The room is equipped with a table, two chairs, a single bed
with pad that folds out into two twins, cleaning supplies and a fire
extinguisher. A vault toilet is located near the lookout. No water is
available on site, so guests must pack in water for drinking, cooking and
washing. Guests must also provide their own camp stove, light source, sleeping
bag, towels, dish soap, matches, cooking gear, toilet paper and garbage bags.

## Natural Features

From the lookout, guests are treated to expansive views of the Red Buttes and
Siskiyou Wilderness areas, Preston Peak and Bolan Lake. To the north are far
views of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness and the Illinois River Valley. On a clear
day, even Mount Shasta is visible to the southeast.  
  
Bolan Lake is a 12 acre, high mountain lake with a shoreline of Douglas fir,
pine and hemlock. A dip in the cool waters provides much needed relief from a
hot summer day. Clear nights provide guests with a dazzling display of stars
and planets.

a total of 179,755 acres. There are approximately 153 miles of trails on 24
established hiking trails in the area. The Kalmiopsis Wilderness was named for
Kalmiopsis leachiana, a slow-growing plant related to the rhododendron, which
was discovered in the area in 1930.

Carberry Group Campground

## Overview

The Chinquapin Group Campground is located at the former site of the Camp
Oregon Caves Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp. During the Great
Depression from 1933- 1941 the Camp Oregon Caves Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC) camp was home to over 200 men who worked on projects in the Siskiyou
National Forest and the Oregon Caves National Monument. Today, the only
structure currently remaining at the site is the historic Grayback Ranger
Station, constructed by CCC crews around 1936 and located immediately adjacent
to the Chinquapin Group Campground. The large Port- Orford cedar tree located
near the back of the parking area was dedicated in 2011 as the 56th Oregon
State Heritage Tree and is a living reminder of the Civilian Conservation
Corps (CCC) and Camp Oregon Caves CCC camp. The large meadow at the Chinquapin
Group Campground makes a great location for group events such as reunions,
church camps, school field trips and scouting events. Water, picnic tables and
fire rings are readily available at three locations in the campground and a
restroom is located at the back of the parking area. Within a short walking
distance there are swimming areas in Grayback Creek and creek side trails with
meadows, marshes, spring wildflowers, wildlife and berry picking. No

Eden Valley Campground

## Overview

Farewell Bend Campground was constructed in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation
Corp. The campground is located 18 miles west of Crater Lake National Park and
in the midst of an old growth forest. There are 60 campsites that can
accommodate trailers, rvs and tents. The Rogue River is located within the
campground allowing for fishing and swimming.

Union Creek Resort is within a mile from the campground and provides access to
a convenience store, restaurant, ice cream shop and lodging.

## Recreation

The entire length of the Upper Rogue River is closely followed by the Upper
Rogue River Trail. The trail is hiker-only and easily traveled for short
segments at a time. Hikers can also enjoy the Rogue Gorge Trail System that
travels from Farewell Bend Campground through Union Creek Campground and down
to Natural Bridge Day Use Area.

## Facilities

This large campground contains a variety of campsites to accommodatetents
trailers and rvs. Drinking water and flush toilets are provided, as well as
picnic tables and campfire rings. Firewood is available for purchase at the
Campground Host Site.

## Natural Features

The Upper Rogue River is fed by snowmelt and springs originating on the peaks
of the Cascade Range, including the slopes of Mt. Mazama—the volcanic caldera
that contains Crater Lake. Along the uppermost portion of the Upper Rogue, the
river is narrow and shallow, but very swift. The river has, for a two-mile
stretch, carved more than 200 feet down into the Mazama pumice (which was
deposited about 8,000 years ago during the explosion that created Crater
Lake). Downstream, the Upper Rogue passes through the narrow, turbulent Rogue
Gorge of black lava and soon plunges entirely underground (into a lava tube)
for about 250 feet at Natural Bridge. Interpretive trails at both of these
places provide good views of the river, with signs that explain the natural
history.

Hart-tish Campground

## Overview

Located in southwest Oregon in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, Hart-
Tish Park is surrounded by a variety of landscapes, boasting nearby volcanic
peaks, rivers and old-growth forests. Hart-Tish Park offers several acres of
beautifully groomed lawn sloping down to the shores of Applegate Lake.
Visitors can spot the peaks of the majestic Red Buttes Wilderness while
looking south over the lake.

General Store with lengthy nonalcoholic drink selection w/no sugar drinks as
well, large snack selection as well as camping, fishing, outdoor amenities,
worms, ICE CREAM, ice and more sold. Boat Ramp. Fish Cleaning Station. Stand
up paddleboard and kayak rentals. Bathrooms. Truck with trailer and car
parking.

Camping and dry RV sites all with easy access to the lake.

## Recreation

Hart-Tish Campground sits on the shores of Applegate Lake, a popular
recreation lake located north of the Red Buttes Wilderness Area. Visitors
enjoy swimming, cycling, boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, world
renown fishing and hiking the various trails near the lake. There is a trail
that goes 18.5 miles around the lake, with two short sections that are back on
the road, as well as various trails close to the lake that are popular with
mountain bikers due to the trails and choices of climbs having trails for
every level. Collins Mountain Trail, named for the family of Freeman and
Sophia (Lewis) Collings, sisters who moved to the area in the mid-1870s from
the Forest Creek/Kanaka Flat area, begins at the Hart-Tish Park picnic area.
The trail crosses Upper Applegate Road and drops down to Grouse Creek, where
it passes an abandoned miners' cabin and several mines, as well as an inactive
Bigfoot trap. Leaving Grouse Creek, the trail climbs steeply for one mile to
the ridge top, gaining 1,000-foot elevation, and begins a long traverse of the
western slope of Collins Mountain. Panoramic views of Applegate Lake and the
Siskiyou Crest are seen at several locations along the trail. The inactive
Bigfoot trap, found at the beginning of the trail, was built in 1974 by the
North American Wildlife Research Team. The trap was inspired by a miner who
lived near the Applegate River who claimed to have found 18-inch-long, human-
like tracks in his garden. The organization operated the trap, keeping it
baited with carcasses for six years, but caught only bears and a hiker. Trails
and lake activities are plentiful.

## Facilities

Hart-Tish Campground has seven traditional tent campsites and eight lakeside
RV parking spots. All tent campsites are a short walk in of approximately 75
yards, with carts provided for transporting gear. The RV sites are a
sectioned-off portion of the day-area use parking. The RV sites back-up
directly to the lake shoreline. It's a beautiful setting, but there may be
day-use car traffic in close proximity to the boat launch area. RV campers are
allocated two parking spots to help accommodate slide-outs and extra gear.
Drinking water and flush toilets are available, as well as an on-site General
Store. Kayak and Paddle Board rentals are available at $45 for 3-hrs or $60
all-day. This is also a boat ramp as well as a fish cleaning station offered.
Please note, GENERATORS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO OPERATE FROM 10 AM TO 12 NOON AND
FROM 4 PM TO 6 PM in order to keep the peace and quiet people visit here for.
Please note, there is a two-night minimum when you desire to reserve a Friday
or Saturday night. Please Note: There is NO INTERNET service or cell coverage
at the Lake. Wi-Fi is available to purchase for $30 for 12 hours.

## Natural Features

The unique character of the landscapes comprising the area has led to the
designation of over 340,000 acres of the forest as wilderness, and over 200
miles of streams as National Wild and Scenic Rivers.  
  
The forest itself is composed of two distinct geological provinces, the
Cascade Range and the Siskiyou Mountains. The Cascade Range is dominated by
snow-capped volcanic peaks like the 9,495-foot Mt. McLoughlin, located within
the Sky Lakes Wilderness.  
  
The Siskiyou area embodies the most complex and treasured plant communities in
the Pacific Northwest. World-class wild rivers, biological diversity,
remarkable fisheries and complex watersheds all define the Siskiyou.  
  
Diverse landscapes provide habitat for a wide range of wildlife, from spotted
owls and bull elk to salamanders and sandhill cranes.

## Nearby Attractions

The nearby Rogue River National Recreation Trail, stretching 40 miles between
Grave Creek and Big Bend, offers some of southwestern Oregon's most scenic
landscapes and rewarding hiking experiences. This hiking-only trail follows
the north bank of the Rogue River as it winds its way toward the Pacific
Ocean. The historic town of Jacksonville has an endless amount of activities
for adults as well as children not to mention The Incredible Venue the Britt
Fest. Visitors enjoy Crater Lake National Park and learning about its unique
natural and cultural history. At 1,943 feet deep, Crater Lake is the deepest
lake in the United States and one of the ten deepest lakes in the world.
