    I’ve been there and plan to return next year. Great fishing. I’m not sure it qualifies as bona fide wilderness in my book. Way too small and saturated with humans to be that. By Eastern standards, it’s still pristine and the virgin timber is unique. When you get to the farthest reaches, there’s still road noise in the distance and human foot traffic on the trails so skinny dipping with the old lady becomes iffy. The water quality is good, and the campground is clean and well-maintained. They get a fee for everything there, and you can’t camp in the backcountry without a site-specific permit. You can’t buy that except on the day you enter, which means you have to wait for the ranger station to open at 8:30. Purchasing the backcountry permit online avoids this, but who can tell in advance what the weather will do to an itinerary? If you want to move each day, a windy or stormy day will mess everything up. Other than the fees and excessive bureaucracy, it’s a nice place to visit.
