Gallagher Canyon State Recreation Area

Gallagher Canyon SRA is a small, tucked‑away lakeside campground offering a very quiet, private setting popular for kayaking and fishing. Sites are primitive—expect boondocking conditions with no water or electrical hookups and vault toilets only—so RV travelers should plan accordingly. The area has several trails and scenic river‑surrounded tent spots for exploration, though some routes have been closed in the past due to misuse. Water levels have varied in recent years, so fishing and boating conditions can be affected. Visitors should be prepared to pack out waste and appreciate very dark, rural nights.
