Human Waste: Proper disposal of human waste is crucial.  Human waste can spread disease, lead to contaminated water supplies, contaminate soils, attract wildlife, and spoil a dispersed camping area for future users.  Portable eco-friendly human waste disposal systems which allow you to safely "Pack It Out" are commercially available and recommended.  As a last resort, choose a spot at least 200 feet away from water sources and dispersed campsites, dig a small hole at least six inches deep, and cover it when you are through. Seal your toilet paper in a bag, pack it out, and dispose of it properly.

Water

Potable water is not available at this site.

 Be prepared to bring your own drinking water or have a water filter.  Lake, stream or spring water may be contaminated.
