Hardware Ranch WMA provides year-round fishing access to nearly 15 miles of streams including Blacksmith Fork River, with a pit toilet available at the main trailhead parking lot. A valid Utah fishing license is required for anglers 12 and older.

The paved State Route 101 provides access to the site, located 15 miles east of Hyrum in Blacksmith Fork Canyon, though winter driving conditions can be challenging and no cellular service is available in the area.
