Briefly about the general area:
There are some perfect whitewater spots on Indian Creek Klamath Tributary, and Willow Spring is a delightful spot to have a look at while you're at Limestone Trail. These mountains
rock, just look at all the entertaining stuff to do in the Klamath Mountains. Oregon Caves National Monument is a splendid local destination here at Limestone Trail, and since you're here, you could stop at Panther Creek.
Elkhorn Prairie is a perfect location, and if you came
to camp West Branch Campground is a good location to do that. This is a great river. Here at Limestone Trail there are plenty of people from Grants Pass, and it's a nice idea to go to No Name Creek. Be careful coming to Limestone Trail, you might not ever want to return back home
again. A short journey to Horse Spring is always worthwhile, and if you fancy a little side spree, try Layman Gulch.
If you want a good time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Klamath Mountains. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we
recommend Elk Creek. There's so much to do here at Limestone Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Country Hills Resort is a great spot for that. This river is so wonderful.
