There are various parts to this rec. area, spread over a pretty large distance. This review is for the Northernmost portion, accessed across from Mercury, NV.
This portion is NOT very well maintained, and it truly for those off-roading campers/adventurers. There are no bathrooms nearby and no amenities to speak of nearby (including running water of any type). The roads are absolutely horrible unless you have high clearance and 4WD. But many great trails for ATVs and horseback riding.
That being said, it is an incredibly beautiful place to be. We were there at the end of February and the temperature was in the upper 60s/lower 70s. We did a hike up one of the mountains to check out one of the former mining camps, and the view all around us was spectacular.
This would have had 5 stars if the roads were a little better/more accessible, and because we only experienced a portion of the Rec Area, I didn't want to be too critical. So we land at a healthy/solid 4 star review.
