Recreation Opportunities

Forests on Savannah River Site are managed for forest products, wildlife habitat, ecological research, and environmental remediation efforts. Out of concern for public safety and for national security reasons, Savannah River Site and it's forests are closed to the public.

While not actively managed by the Forest Service, the Crackerneck Wildlife Management Area - a 10,000-acre ecological reserve adjacent to Savannah River Site does offer limited recreational opportunities at various times of the year. To download a brochure of the area and to find out dates and times specific recreation activities are permitted visit: https://dnr.sc.gov/gis/docs/24-25CrackerneckBrochure.pdf
