Recreation

Visitors to Browns Park NWR should be prepared for spectacular scenery in a remote wilderness setting. To maintain the wilderness and solitude sensation, facilities and commercialism are minimized and recreation off the established roads involves non-motorized or non-mechanical means of transport. This approach provides wildlife and wildland viewing and enjoyment opportunities in an uncrowded setting. Restrictions are also minimized, and visitors are free to hike cross-country or follow any of numerous trails created by big game. All visitors are encouraged to use good wildlife viewing practices and ethics, especially when viewing species sensitive to human disturbance.
