Map Information

Tips for using the online maps

These maps show the location of recreation sites and areas on the familiar Google Map view, with its map, terrain, and satellite options. They were created by combining public Google Maps with Forest Service recreation areas from this web site. To learn more about a recreation area, select the map marker. From there, you can follow the link in the pop-up window to go to the web page for the recreation area.

Please note that panning and zooming does not always show every recreation area at that location on the map. If the map you are viewing shows the whole National Forest/Grassland or some large section of it like a Ranger District or recreation zone, you may need to navigate to a "deeper" level before the individual recreation areas or sites appear.

• For a full list of icons used as markers on the map, see below
• A diamond shaped icon indicates a recreation area with nested recreation areas that show when the icon is 'double-clicked'
• A '+' sign on an icon indicates that the recreation area is modified to support activities other than what is shown on the icon

Other ways to find recreation information on this website.

In addition to navigating to a place via the maps, you can also find recreation area information by:

• Selecting a recreation activity from the list of activities under Recreation in the left hand navigation
• Using the right hand “Areas & Activities” box to find an area
• Searching for sites by name using the upper left search box
