We rode fat bikes from the North Entrance to the Lunksus lean-too and we had a great time though the IAT was so overgrown that we honestly were afraid at times that we were not on a trail anymore. I wish some resources were used to maintain the trails that exist in the back country instead of building multi million dollar welcome stations. We had an amazing time though I fear these trails will be lost soon and you will have wasted miles of an amazing trail system.

Great small spread out campground with easy access to the river. My second day I spotted a black bear crossing the river. Visitor center is about a 10 minute drive. All roads in the park are gravel. Pretty remote area. There’s a gas station, diner and motel about a half hour away. Buy firewood before going to this area. Very quiet and peaceful.

Nice spot for the bigger tent sites. Extremely buggy location and the drive into the site is difficult road wise but overall good site for a large group.

Wonderful camp spot. Sunny but that was fine with me. Peaceful and beautiful. Some of the time there was no one else there.
