Washington Off-Road Trails

In the Mt. Baker / Snoqualmie National Forest and part of the Evans Creek ORV Area, Trail #197 is one of a dozen trails designated for 4x4 use for over 45 miles of trail riding. What you won't find on this trail is any time to relax. With its tall drop-offs, 6-foot root walls, and severe off-camber sections, you'll be lucky to get away with your fenders. This trail is rated the hardest in the Evans Creek ORV, and if you need a challenge and something to brag about, you might try this trail in reverse and turn those drop-offs into challenging climbs. 

Pit Overlook (4W321), nestled within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, is a captivating 4.5-mile-long trail that forms a part of the Liberty Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) park. This scenic route offers a delightful journey through the forest, with gentle variations in elevation keeping the ride exciting yet manageable. As you traverse along Pit Overlook, you'll be treated to breathtaking views that extend to the south, revealing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. However, one notable feature that adds an element of thrill to the experience is the off-camber shelf road, which can be intimidating. With its sideways tilt, this winding road might make your heart skip a beat, but it also adds a sense of adventure to the journey. Despite the exhilarating moments, Pit Overlook remains an enchanting trail that showcases the beauty of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and provides OHV enthusiasts with a memorable offroading experience.

Are you ready for a hill climb? Trail #310, located in the beautiful Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, is one of a dozen trails in the Evans Creek ORV just 10 miles Southeast of Wilkeson, Washington. This trail has a very long, drawn-out hill climb with 15 - 20 inch boulders laying loosely in the path. At the last part of this hill climb, you will feel like you are in a spaceship blasting off with only the sky in your windshield. Get a good look before you commit and memorize the terrain. Once at the top, there are grand views of the surrounding mountains and valleys just north of Mt. Rainier.

Pooch Peak, NF 7920, is mostly gravel and may have standing water in places during the early Spring and Fall. This road connects with many of the trails in the park, providing the ability to move quickly from one end of the park to the other. The trail is almost 6 miles from end to end and gains about 500 feet in elevation. At mile marker 4.1, there is a washout with a makeshift primitive bridge. Inability to navigate this obstacle may prevent access to Trail #199 and Trail #519. However, both trails can be accessed from Evans Creek / NF-7930. Along the way, there are areas to pull over and play in the mud or test your vehicle's climbing ability in the gravel pit. This trail is suitable for 4x4 vehicles with some lift. Many of the connecting trails may have higher difficulty ratings.
