Castor River Conservation Area Access provides multiple entry points to a 9,989-acre area with primitive camping, multi-use trails, and fishing opportunities.

Access the Trace Creek Camping Area via County Road 822 for riparian stream habitat, or use Route Y south from Highway 34 to reach the Horse Camping Area, Shooting Range, and Blue Pond Natural Area.

The area features vault toilets at designated camping areas, gravel and service roads suitable for walking, and seasonal road closures—note that ticks and chiggers are abundant in tall grass and wooded areas during summer and fall.
