Kaner Flat Group Campground offers outdoor enthusiasts the opportunity to hike, fish, ski, raft and enjoy a multitude of outdoor recreational activities throughout the year. Nearby American Ridge Trail offers hikers, overnight backpackers and horseback riders fantastic opportunities to absorb some of the area's stunning beauty.

Trails for off-road, motorized recreation abound in this area, although some only allow specific types of vehicles. Visitors should be sure to check area maps. Backpacking in the nearby Goat Rocks Wilderness is also a popular pastime. The peaks within the area are remnants of an extinct volcano, taking the name "Goat Rocks," in honor of the numerous mountain goats traversing this isolated region. Gilbert Peak is the highest summit in this area, at an elevation of 8,184 feet.
