Pacific NW Trail Information & Maps



From January 1st, 2009 to May 2009 WAATVA worked, logged and reported over  6,200 hours of trail work!
 
You can volunteer too, just watch for our "Next work Party" announcements on the Home page and email the coordinator of that work party.
 
Give back to the trails that give to you!  You CAN make a difference!

This is a "work in progress" page that is periodically updated as information and maps are received, reviewed and scanned.  We list the local, state, regional & national recreational areas designated and approved for riding.  If you have riding information you are interested in sharing, please Email

Also, we may refer to ATVs, Dirtbikes/Motorcycles as Bike(s) through out this website unless otherwise noted.

Some of the maps and information pages you will encounter on this site require Acrobat Reader to view them. Get Acrobat reader here

Forest Service Rules & Regulations for Trail Riding 

(for more info contact http://www.fs.fed.us/ )   

Many Forest Service trails are open to motorcycles. Motorized users (motorcycles and ATVs) need to meet the requirements of Washington State Law and also Forest Service regulations. State Law requires current ORV stickers (issued by the Dept. of Motorized Vehicles). FS regulations require approved spark arresters. Motorized users must stay on designated trails.

Motorcyclists using Forest Service roads must be "street legal," which means they need to have a current state license and operator's license, riders must be wearing a helmet, and the motorcycle must have a headlight, tail light, brake light, horn and left and right side rearview mirror. 

The following are recommendations for motorized trail users on Forest Service trails:

  • sign in at the register.
  • always ride within your ability.
  • give right of way to pack and saddle users and hikers.
  • avoid using trails during the wet season
