3.9/5 (19)

Walker Valley OHV Area is a popular 3,200-acre riding area in western Washington’s Walker Valley Forest, east of Big Lake and a short drive from Mount Vernon, with roughly 36 miles of motorized trails spread across single-track, double-track, and 4x4 routes. It stands out because it serves a wide range of users in one compact system: motorcycles and dirt bikes have plenty of single-track to explore, ATVs and smaller SxSs can enjoy the double-track network, and high-clearance 4x4s will find a smaller but more technical set of rock, root, rut, and mud-heavy trails. Difficulty ranges from easy access roads and milder connectors up to legitimately technical obstacle-driven sections, with conditions getting tougher in wet weather when slick mud, standing water, and ruts can change the character of the trails fast. Walker Valley is a great fit for riders and drivers who want variety in one place, from newer users sticking to easier roads and ATV trails to experienced off-roaders looking for short, punchy technical challenges in a dense forest setting.

WV-22

Mount Vernon, Washington

WV-22 is a service road on the west side of the Walker Valley ORV Park. The trail is a dirt road that can be muddy and has many potholes. It can be a busy place, and while there is ample room, be mindful of other drivers around you. The trail as a whole is fairly easy, and could be accomplished by almost any vehicle, were it not for the gatekeeper. The gate is kept closed to keep out non-modified 4X4 vehicles, making the only way in to go through the gatekeeper to the side. The rocks are large, and it can be muddy, but it’s not too difficult. Once it has been passed, the rest of the trail is a basic dirt road. There is a small pullout area just before the trail entrance that can also be used to air up/down your tires. This trail gives you access to Timber Tamer at Waypoints 2, 3, and 4, and EZ-Valley Connecter at Waypoint 5.

Timber Tamer

Mount Vernon, Washington

WV-05

Its narrow gatekeeper won’t be difficult to smaller vehicles but may keep those in larger rigs from entering. But rest assured, there is another way in via WV-22. This trail introduces you to the northern section of the park, immediately connecting with Upper Mainline, and getting you to the 4X4 Skills Area sooner than the southern route. Shortly after the gatekeeper is a great stop for group meets with a nice view. If you can make the squeeze, you’ll be rewarded with great wheeling soon after.
