Castor River Conservation Area Access provides multiple entry points via County Roads 820 and 822 for accessing fishing and paddling opportunities on Trace Creek and the Castor River, with parking areas and primitive camping available.

The area features vault toilets at the Horse Camping Area and Shooting Range, though direct Castor River access is extremely limited; Trace Creek offers a perennial stream with exposed bedrock and scenic bluffs suitable for paddling.

Visitors should note that ticks and chiggers are abundant in summer and fall, and the area is actively hunted during spring turkey and fall deer seasons, requiring hunter orange when appropriate.
