With over 75,000 acres of wilderness beauty packed with ponderosa pine forest land, canyons, lakes and beautiful vistas, this area is home to some of the most popular off-road trails in Washington.
The 70+ miles of old logging roads are ideal for ATV trail riding, offering a variety of terrain including loose dirt, sand, rocks, a few mudding trails, berms, and steep hills. Specifically, the Ahtanum State Forest OHV trail is a 29-mile, heavily trafficked loop trail that is rated “ moderate”. The forest is crisscrossed by a network of roads known as the “Green Dot” road network, consisting of over 562 miles of inter-connected roads in Kittitas and Yakima Counties, denoted by green “dot” signs (which is where the name originated. Duh!)
