The Telford Recreation Area offers spacious lands for opportunities including
hiking, mountain biking, primitive camping, hunting, and horseback riding.
Three primitive trailheads each offer parking and an informational kiosk.

## Know Before You Go:

  * Telford does not have a BLM-developed trail system. Hikers, bicyclists, and horseback riders typically travel via access routes, overland, via old overgrown ranch roads, user-created trails and/or livestock trails. Existing trails typically lack pedestrian pass gates at rangeland fence intersections. 
  * Beware of rattlesnakes, especially from May through October. 
  * There are no facilities or services available. 
  * When recreating on public lands, practice Leave-No-Trace Principles.

Telford Recreation Area

Nestled in at the south end of Upper Twin Lake, this site offers picnicking
and camping in a serene setting with a few primitive campsites. Bright yellow
balsam root are abundant in the spring. Popular activities here are fishing
and paddling on the lakes, hiking, backpacking, hunting, horseback riding,
waterfowl and wildflower viewing and photography. Anglers fish for stocked
rainbow trout, largemouth bass, yellow perch, yellow bullhead, black crappie,
and sunfish. Trails wind through shrub-steppe uplands, and the upper Lake
Creek Canyon. Developed wetlands supporting numerous bird populations north of
the lakes invite overland hikers to come and explore.

## Know Before You Go:

  * The Twin Lakes Area is open year-round. 
  * Both lakes have primitive boat launches, and the upper lake also has a small dock. 
  * There are no services available. 
  * Beware of rattlesnakes, especially from May through October.
  * For fishing or hunting regulations in the Twin Lakes area, contact the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
