Tekison Creek Trail

Bookended by campsites, Tekison Creek Road is a dead-end connecting road between Little Brushy Creek and Brewton Road, with a seasonally accessible finger leading to the waters of the Columbia River. Along the west end of the trail, at the connection with Brewton, Tekison branches off for another half mile, ending at a rarely used, single-vehicle-mounted tent camping location. An overgrown water crossing in this section is the only difficult part to contend with, though you can easily avoid it and skip this half-mile altogether. The northern half of the road, closest to the water, is closed from October 20th to April 30th to protect local Elk herds. Along the drive, you will see old buildings and machinery in the field that may prove interesting, as well as railroad tracks across the water from a great shoreline campsite that is rather small, only large enough for one or two vehicles and a ground tent.

Green Dot Roads are a collaboration between DNR, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and private landowners to provide opportunities for dispersed recreation such as camping, hunting, off-road vehicle riding, and wildlife viewing. Green Dot roads are the legal motorized routes and marked with a round green reflector on a white route marker. You can find current mappings that will include seasonal and other closures at https://wdfw.wa.gov/about/wdfw-lands/green-dot. A Discover Pass is required for portions of DRN land that are included in Green Dot road maps.
