Rimrock Springs Wildlife Management Area
<p><a href="http://www.fs.usda.gov/photogallery/ochoco/?cid=2778"><img alt="Rimrock Spring WMA" src="http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprdb5278967" style="float: left; margin: 5px 10px 5px 5px;" width="190" /></a>A small dam traps spring-fed water to create this wetland oasis in an otherwise parched land. From the parking lot, take the 0.5-mile paved level trail to an uncovered observation deck. For a different perspective and route back to the parking lot, hike the not-so-level 0.9-mile dirt trail that loops south past a second viewing platform and then west. </p><p>This is an ADA-accessbile site.</p><p><strong>Caution:</strong> This site can be brutally hot in summer, so take along drinking fluids. For the best view, bring binoculars or a spotting scope. Although you should be alert for rattlesnakes, you're more apt to see the similarly colored but non-venomous gopher snake.</p>

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
