This area provides opportunities for solitude and backcountry experiences.  You will find ample opportunities for fishing, horseback riding, camping, and hiking.

With more than 20,000 acres of Wilderness in Citico Creek and Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock, this area provides ample opportunities for solitude and backcountry experiences. Catch both native and stocked trout in Citico Creek and its rugged tributaries, and fish for small-mouth bass and catfish in the creek’s lower reaches.
