Bosque del Oso SWA Access provides entry to a 30,000-acre wildlife area with ten designated parking areas providing access to the South Fork Purgatoire River and its tributaries for fishing.

A valid Colorado fishing or hunting license is required for visitors 16 and older, and gravel/dirt roads with rough conditions recommend high-clearance vehicles.

Free camping is available in designated first-come, first-served campgrounds (May-November) with picnic tables, water access, and vault toilets.
