is allowed only in designated campgrounds where fire rings or barbecues,
trash disposal facilities, and rest rooms are provided. There are 13

fires, often the result of careless campfires, are a major concern due
to the possible damage to the environment and the threat to local
communities. Consequently, campfires are allowed in designated
campgrounds only, and only in fire rings or barbecues provided. As in
any location, campfires should never be left unattended and should be
extinguished before leaving the campsite. Off-Road Vehicles Use
of DWP land for off-road vehicles is limited to existing roads and
trails, and away from residential areas. Extra caution should be taken
when using off-road vehicles in areas where there is livestock. Fishing The

are Crowley Lake Reservoir, Pleasant Valley Reservoir, the Owens River,
Bishop Creek, Lone Pine Creek, and Diaz Lake. All fishing is subject to
the regulations of the State of California, Department of Fish and Game.
Care should be taken to protect the lakes, creeks, and streams.
