Taidnapam Park

Black-and-white map of Taidnapam Park showing campground loops, roads, and amenities along Riffe Lake. Numbered campsites are arranged in several loops on both sides of the park, with walk-in tent sites, ADA-accessible sites, and connected sites marked by symbols. Icons indicate restrooms, showers, playgrounds, picnic/day-use areas, parking, dump station, fish-cleaning station, registration hosts, and boat launch and tent-site parking, with a note that the boat launch is closed and directs visitors to Taidnapam North. Group camps and a primitive group camp are labeled, along with park entrance, gates, pedestrian bridges and underpass, and nearby roads.
