OBRI is renowned for its rugged landscapes, appealing to outdoor enthusiasts with activities such as climbing, hiking, whitewater sports, and fishing. The park plays a crucial role in conserving environmental and cultural heritage and offers diverse recreational opportunities, enhancing its value to the region.

Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (BISO) will replace an obsolete and deteriorating portable sewage pumping unit. The unit will be replaced with a unit that conforms to current operational needs and requirements within the park.
