The surrounding area offers many outdoor recreational opportunities, including fishing, hiking and viewing local wildlife.
The campground is named after Rex Hale, one of 15 firefighters who died in the 1937 Blackwater Fire, which burned more than 1,700 acres of Forest Service lands within the Shoshone National Forest.Recreation
