Title: Mission Creek - can I bring a quad?
Post by: djnoodle on May 03, 2014, 08:08:55 AM: Planning a hunt somewhere in the mission creek area off of the number two canyon rd outside of Wenatchee.

I'm not familiar with the laws on riding quads on roads in Washington state. I heard that the laws changed now and you can ride a quad on a 35 mph or less road in certain counties.

What does that say for the no 2 canyon rd and surrounding areas?

I also found this web page on the state's website on how to make your atv street legal to get it licensed:

Follow those DOL requirements for making your ATV street legal and your good to go on NF roads.
Check with the NF Ranger District before you go just to make sure that the NF Supervisor has not changed the forest wide ruling he made last month.

There is state land up there and on that you should be okay except for specific roads that may be closed. And there is private land too so be sure you know where you are at all times.
