Walker Fork Dispersed Camping

Multiple dispersed camping spots line Walker Fork creek at mile 82 of the Taylor Highway, offering level gravel sites among scattered spruce and birch. The creek runs cold and clear, perfect for filtering drinking water, while old mining equipment and tailings piles hint at the area’s gold rush history. Sites accommodate rigs up to 30 feet on firm gravel, with fire rings already established at most spots.

The area sees moderate use during summer months, especially on weekends. Creek access varies with water levels – spring runoff can make crossing treacherous. No facilities exist beyond what previous campers have built. Black bears frequent the area, so proper food storage is essential.
