Cottage on Craig is a short drive from several native and stocked trout streams. The closest of which, Roaring Run, is a 6 mile drive through the Jefferson National Forest. Roaring Run flows through a steep gorge that has an abundance of deep pools, which are supplied with coldwater from a large limestone spring. The trophy section continues to be developed using annual brown and rainbow fingerling stockings.
