Title: Margaret Access
Post by: CoastalHunter on May 29, 2015, 10:17:55 PM: Isn't there a gate to get in there over by Cougar?? Or do you have to go through the St. Helen's Tree Farm?

The top of the old Margaret unit is now an "elk area", the Mt Margaret back country section. It's Draw only. The left over Margaret is permit access.

So the only way in there is through the St.Helens Tree Farm????

Quite a ways from there to the new Margaret boundary (especially the Weyco part) And the first open land you hit (Weyco) would be drivable and you'd still need the access permit. East end is now an elk area, not part of Margaret anymore.
