Ditch that map and get a wenatchee national forest map.
Does that map show what roads are open for vehicle travel?
I'm just looking for a map or resource to say which you can drive by truck or atv and which you can't. I've heard stories frOm guys getting tickets but they didn't know the road was closed. You can't rely on culverts, signs or gates anymore.

If you're up there, please don't be an a-hole. These guys are just trying to do their jobs - the guys that got screwed by this are just the guys working on the road and not FS employees...

I just want to clarrify something. I am hunting 346 this year, have a Yakima county sherriff rec map. It lists it as an active green dot road area. So are all the roads drawn and labeled considered to be open to travel? Anyone else use that map or know the answer? I know some people assume but I don't want to. Thanks for any help
The sheriff map is the best one out there. Its the one they will be looking at for enforcement.
It dont show much in the green dot areas to the east but it the best road map for the roads in the NF. The only roads closed in teh NF are marked in red on the map (those are permanent closed roads), any other closed road will be posted.
And dont go by weather there is a road number or not. Some roads have numbers and are still closed (back hoed off) other roads dont have the numbers on them and are still opened.
I have found the Sheriff Recreation map to be better then the FS maps. :twocents:

The only season they are concerned with is "construction season".

I had never heard about the atv restrictions. Up north of spOkane In the Nf, you need a map and they designate certain roads for atv use being ok.Ditch that map and get a wenatchee national forest map.
Does that map show what roads are open for vehicle travel?

You absolutely cannot drive quads on forest service road or lands. get a map from the naches ranger station and ask francis for any questions you might have about it. If you plan on hunting forest service land, leave the atv parked in the garage. keep in mind milk creek, gold creek, and rock creek are closed due to the washouts. if you have any questions call the front desk at the ranger station.

forest service is pretty proud of their chuckholed, washboard roads, guess thats why they have so many new pickups. I could go on for days about the forest service.:yeah: :chuckle:
