Their popularity means that reservations are often necessary. Motels are also available in Carson and Stevenson, as are restaurants.

Whistle Punk Trail 59 runs for through young forest area near the experimental forest, with a short span of old-growth forest. It offers views of logging artifacts and an old railroad.
