Nope. No access in these parcels unless you have the lease from them.

Yes the gated Weyco property will have a access permit required there. At least Coultet creek does. The watchman lives right there and checks it regularly

I'm assuming you mean Coulter Creek. All of the Weyco lands I'm talking about nearer Wenatchee are leased. I rarely make it that far up.

FAQ is here: https://www.fs.fed.us/sites/default/files/media_wysiwyg/cfp-faq-december2018.pdf
Use and Management of a Community Forest
What degree of public access must be allowed? Can it be closed to the public for certain times of the year?
Eligible lands are defined by the rule in part as “Private Forest Lands that: (3) if acquired by an eligible entity, can provide defined community benefits under the CFP and allow public access. (Final Rule section 230.2 Definitions. Eligible lands). The rule defines Public Access as “Access that is provided on a non-discriminatory basis at reasonable times and places, but may be limited to protect cultural and natural resources or public health and safety (Final Rule section 230.2 Definitions Public access).” The rule further requires (Final Rule section 230.9b Ownership and use requirements) that the Grant recipient shall provide appropriate public access.The management of public access must be outlined and discussed in the community forest plan (Final Rule section 230.2 Definitions. Community forest plan(7)). The plan must discuss any proposed limitations to protect cultural or natural resources. One of the community benefits on which a proposed project will be evaluated is recreational benefits such as hiking, hunting, and fishing secured through public access. Significant limitations on public access could render a project ineligible or have an impact on the competitiveness of a project.
Can hunting be allowed on property that is acquired through the Community Forest Program?
Recreational benefits including hunting are recognized as community benefits that can be provided by the CFP (Final Rule section 230.2 Definitions. Community benefits). As with other uses of a property, game management and hunting activities will need to be addressed in the community forest plan.

Good morning KP,
We do allow non-motorized recreational use of our property near Lake Wenatchee. There are signs at both gates explaining what is allowed (hiking, biking, cross country skiing, horse back riding) and what is prohibited (motor vehicles, fires, fireworks, camping, target shooting).
We also allow hunting during legal seasons through a permit system. The annual fee is $75 per person and if interested I can send a copy of the permit.
Thanks and enjoy!
Mik
