Historic Lone Dome Ranger Station is nearby and is a landmark and interpretation of the first ranger station which was built on the old Montezuma National Forest around 1912.
The Dolores River below McPhee Reservoir is
popular with fly fishermen and river runners. Trees
shade the area, but in summer, it is hot. Fishing is limited
to catch-and-release with flies and lures only from
Bradfield Bridge upstream to the dam. The river is popular for river rafting from
Bradfield Bridge to the confluence with the Colorado River in Utah. The closest
services are in Dolores or Dove Creek.
