Porcupine Creek is a hunting, fishing, camping, and swimming spot near Ashton, Idaho in Fremont County within Targhee National Forest.  It's surrounded by forests, meadows, and a creek that you can explore and see various wildlife. There are trails nearby, however, none of them are marked trails. There's a few good spots to camp right here by a stream, but be aware that it is bear country, so use precaution and pack your food properly, or use the provided metal storage areas in the campsites. 

Note: Porcupine Creek is closed to the public from November - March to protect wintering wildlife.
