The area around the campground supports wildlife such as mountain goats, native fish and migratory birds. Endangered and threatened species, including American bald eagles, northern spotted owls, gray wolves and grizzly bears also find havens in nearby areas.
Precipitation varies greatly thoughout the area, ranging from approximately 140 inches along the Cascade Crest to only 10 inches along the eastern edge. Visitors to the area can expect many days of warm, sunny weather in the summer, and plenty of snow in the winter.
Recreation
Indian Creek Campground offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to hike, fish, ski, raft and enjoy a multitude of recreational activities throughout the year.
Beautiful rivers and streams, high elevation lakes and reservoirs provide an endless number of fishing opportunities for the experienced and beginning angler. Opportunities abound to pursue or view the legendary salmon and steelhead, several species of trout or a variety of warm-water fish.
River enthusiasts enjoy whitewater rafting trips on one of the many scenic rivers in the area. The Tieton River is especially exciting in September when the Bureau of Land Reclamation floods the Tieton Valley, releasing fast and furious water.
