There is also public land in the bottom of the Toutle since they took part of the Yale unit away and put it in the Toutle.

I saw that on the maps but it looked land locked by gates and private property. Do you know the best way to access that portion? I'm going to get out next weekend and start scouting and will investigate either way. Thanks for the heads up!

I believe you can get in there through timberland that doesn't charge for access.

That's great to know. I'll check it out.

Thanks for the help!

Get a DNR public lands quad map either online or from the map office in Tumwater.  There is a huge block of state land between the N. and S. forks of the Toutle river.   There is also a pretty good sized chunk on the S. end of the unit.  I spent my time in the N. end because I live in Silverdale There is a mainline from the town of Toutle that cuts though weyco and goes to the state patch.  This state patch is where the 3000 road is, basically runs along the ridge between the forks of the river and goes up to the blast zone area.  You'll probably find lots of Toutle info that references the 3000 road.  I scouted it a bit, but I hunted down a lot lower.  There is a huge difference in vegitation from the low to high in this unit.  Normal west side down low, and skinny litle Noble firs up high.  It's neat to see really.  The state land is open to camping.  The roads are also open to dirt bikes and quads.  A bike or quad would be a good scouting tool to save gas and cover rough roads easily.

You used to be able to camp and hunt right there no problem
Get some maps and go drive around
It’s been a while so I can’t confirm gates or access
Good luck
I’ve filled a couple archery bull tags with rag horns in there

This is great info. I had the 4250 marked on my map to start and it looks like that ends up connecting with the 3000 line. That's great to know about the feed, the topo map makes it look like there is plenty of water sources as well.

Thanks again. Appreciate the insight.

I drew Archery Quality Colockum. Looks like I need to start scouting. I wasn't expecting to draw.
Great tag to have!! Some day I'll draw it.  My buddy smoked a whopper last year with that tag.

Would love to see a picture. I am going to brave the weather (heat) and do some scouting this weekend.

Bug spray lol how about a complete body wrap. The dirty little bugger will pack you off.  Good luck on the scouting 👍
