Raft River Division
The Raft River Division encompasses 95,000 acres of Forest Service administered land and includes the Raft River Mountain Range located in northern Utah, northwest of Salt Lake City. These peaks reach up to an elevation of 10,300 ft. On a clear day, the vista from the top offers a view of the Great Salt Lake, Snake River Plain, Sawtooth Mountain Range and into Nevada. The area is popular among archery and rifle deer hunters and several drainages provide excellent opportunities for fishing in small streams. Clear Creek Campground, which is handicapped accessible, is the Division's only developed campground. The campground serves as trailhead for the Bull Flat (#001) and Lake Creek (#004) Trails. There are also plenty of opportunities for dispersed camping.
