Information
on Stanslaus National Forest
Located in central California, lies the Stanislaus National Forest.
You can fish in over 800 miles of rivers and streams, enjoy a comfortable
cabin, stay in a campground, or hike into the backcountry seeking pristine
solitude. You can swim near a sandy beach or wade into cold clear streams
cooling your feet while lost in the beauty of nature, raft the exciting
and breath-taking Tuolumne River, or canoe one of the many gorgeous
lakes. You can ride a horse, a mountain bike or a snowmobile. Clearly
the choice is yours in the special places of the Stanislaus National
Forest.

This visitor's guide to the Stanislaus National Forest includes maps, campground
listings, programs and special events in the Stanislaus National Forest.
The Stanislaus National
Forest contains all of the Emigrant Wilderness and portions of the Carson-Iceberg
and Mokelumne Wildernesses. These areas are closed to all motorized
use. Livestock grazing and mining are permitted uses. The pristine and
dramatic scenery as a backdrop offers outstanding hiking, backpacking,
and horseback riding opportunities. Wilderness permits are required
for overnight stays, and group size is limited. Camping is not allowed
within 100 feet of streams, trails, or lakes.
During the gold
rush, the area that would become the Stanislaus National Forest was
a busy place, occupied by miners and other immigrants, homesteaders
and ranchers, dam builders and loggers. Several railroads were constructed
to haul logs out of the woods. Evidence of these activities still exist.
