No fires are allowed anywhere near the creek and no camping within 1 mile of both sides of the creek. If these restrictions were not in effect the creek and hot springs environment would be a trash dump and sewer. As it is, many of us who love the place spend much of our time and energy cleaning up every time we visit it, as many of the users actually abuse it with discarded trash, unburied feces, illegal, dangerous fires and spray paint graffiti.
Please love Deep Creek and the Hot Springs by abiding the rules set up to protect it.
