CAMPINGCamping on the north side of the river (across the F Street bridge) may jeopardize FIBArks future. This land is owned by the railroad and each year we have to ask for permission to cross it for our running and Hooligan races. Please don’t camp there. There are plenty of other camping resources nearby: http://www.parks.state.co.us/parks/arkansasheadwaters/camping/Pages/CampingHome.aspx http://www.forestcamping.com/dow/rockymtn/siinfo.htm
