I am planning to visit White River National Forest in this mid August, is there any hotel, motel to stay?or we have to camp only? can we stay in motel and go for hiking and come back ? I am not fan of camping. any other activity than fishing?

Answer

The National Forest is rather large, covering hundreds of square miles. Can you me more specific about the area you will be staying? Town? You wouldn’t be disappointed in a cabin, I’m sure.
