I have only been in there one time, back when you could walk on without permit. But I live more on the north side so I will probably access on the duvall/ carnation side if I can.

Thanks for the heads up on the 2015 season dates! I noticed the Snoqualmie Vicinity Map was updated for 2015 and was surprised to see a lot of new wildlife protection areas marked in green on the map, including a promising area that I scouted in December.

I noticed that too. I saw a few small bucks in that area and plenty of does but I only spend a little time in that area.

How are crowds up there?  I'm 99% sure I'm buying in this year.  I wish they'd open an entrance through hwy 2.

Opening day of modern for deer looks like a truck show with everyone riding round and round. It's a big farm though and you can find lots of places away from the roads where you're not likely to see anyone.

Does anyone here do the non motorized option? Im assuming we can bring in a mountain bike

[blacktailnewb]

I've done non-motorized for the past two years. Yes, you can bring in a mountain bike and it is highly recommended. Get one with 29" inch wheels since the roads aren't that bad and you want to cover distance, not rough ground. Check out the vicinity map on the website and you can find some entry points for walk-in and bike-in users that are harder to reach from the vehicle gates. Take advantage of that!

[Stickerbush]

Sweet, I have a large trek hardtail mt bike that should be perfect. Can't wait  to get in there and start exploring

[Stickerbush]

for walk in access can I go in at any gate? Like up by carnation?

[Ddouble]

According to the regulations you are still supposed to access at gate 10 or 11 for non motorized. It looks like this year they may let you take a guest in on a motorized permit 2 days per permit.

The crowds aren't too bad. I really wish they would have an entrance up north too.

Do non-motorized users need to fill out a sign-in card?

No!  Sign-in cards are for motorized users only and are at the motorized access gates.  Non-motorized users can access the property from any location provided they are not crossing other private property without permission.  We do ask that if non-motorized users harvest game, they mail in a game harvest card or put it in the box at a kiosk at one of the recreation access gates.  Game harvest cards are available at the recreation kiosks or may be printed out from the web site.


Looks like we can access from other spots after all
