In particular, the plan includes protection measures for unique natural resources including sensitive wetlands and the geothermal features in the surrounding areas. The plan also addresses visitor access, facilities, and programs. Download pdf (13 Mb).

Managing Dream Lake Basin
 Dream Lake dam was breached in the spring of 2011 in order to allow the lake to drain and dry out through the summer. Stream channels are beginning to develop in the basin. The dam will be completely removed, and revegetation of the basin will begin this fall. View a panoramic image of Dream Lake basin taken August 4, 2011.
