Editor's Note: Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Week Through Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. September 27, 2016 Visitors to the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest need to be aware that a number of different hunting seasons are occurring right now. There are early and late season hunts for different species, so hunters will be out in the woods for the next few months. No campfire restrictions are in effect so hunters and other recreationists may have campfires in all areas of the national forest where they are normally allowed. A woodcutting permit is not needed to collect wood that will be burned in a campfire ring during your visit to the national forest. Hunters are required to wear 400 square inches of fluorescent “Hunter Orange” in areas currently open to modern firearm deer or elk hunting, this includes archers and muzzleloaders while hunting in units which overlap modern firearm seasons. Forest visitors may also want to dress in vivid colors during the fall hunting seasons. Hikers should wear at least one article of hunter orange viewable from all directions such as a hat, jacket, or vest. Cover your backpack with orange. Horseback riders should wear a hunter orange vest and helmet cover. Use a hunter orange vest or rump sheet on your horse. Dogs should wear hunter orange or other visible color, like a vest, leash, coat, shirt or bandana If camping in a dispersed area or in a developed campground, think safety. Establish boundaries for children and dress them in bright clothes. Keep in mind quiet is for hunters, not hikers, bikers and other outdoors enthusiasts. Without scaring the dickens out of everyone and everything, make sure you can be heard and not confused with an animal moving through the woods. Whether hunting or out for a day’s trek into the woods, it is a good idea to complete and leave a “Trip Plan” with a friend before departing. Information that should be included in the “Trip Plan” is the starting date, return date, purpose of trip, general location, specific location, starting point, route in, destination, route out (if different than route in), and finish point. It is also a good idea to leave vehicle information with a friend--owner of the vehicle, license number, make/model, and year/color. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

Updated on 9/27/16 Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Recreation Report page 2 of 30 Backcountry visitors are also encouraged to take the “10 Essentials” with them when in the woods. The “10 Essentials” are a list of basic items that are recommended for every backcountry trip—whether it’s a day hike or a two-week hunting trip. The “10 Essentials” include a pocketknife, first aid kit, extra clothing, a full canteen or water bottle, flashlight with extra batteries and bulb, extra food, extra matches and fire starters, sun protection--sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, lip balm, a map, and a compass. Many backcountry travelers carry cellular phones with them in case of emergency. Use 911 only in case of an actual emergency. Remember, help may be several hours away or longer. When making a 911 emergency call from the backcountry be sure you know your location, including the trailhead and nearest city, destination or waypoints, your cell phone number, how your cell phone works, and how to increase your signal strength by finding a clearing, gaining elevation, and turning your body—you may be obstructing the signal. Be prepared to give complete information about the nature of the emergency when placing a call for help. If forest visitors come across a marijuana grow site, or any other area where suspicious activity is occurring, they should leave the area immediately following the same route they came in and make as little noise as possible. After leaving the area, note the location of the site and contact local law enforcement right away. This is especially important to keep in mind during hunting season; many hunters will be visiting remote, difficult to access areas of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. These areas are also the places where illegal marijuana plantations may be planted. Remember, be safe, be aware of your surroundings and leave the area if you see any signs that it may be a grow site. For information about backcountry trip planning contact any USDA Forest Service office. Be sure to check the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife 2016 Big Game Hunting Seasons & Regulations booklet for hunting information. CAMPFIRES ALLOWED: Campfire restrictions have been lifted on national forest lands; forest users may have campfires in all areas of the national forest where they are normally allowed. NEW FOREST SERVICE OFFICE IN OMAK: Forest Service visitor information services for the central and south part of Okanogan County have moved to 401 Omak Ave in Omak WA, near the Omak Stampede Grounds. We share a building with the Omak Visitor Center; there is a separate Forest Service entrance.

Always be aware of the IFPL on the day that woodcutting will occur. The minimum firewood permit is $20 for four cords of wood. The cost for permits over the four-cord minimum is $5 per cord. The maximum number of cords that may be purchased for personal-use is 12 cords per household per year. Generally, woodcutters may cut wood lying on the forest floor and standing dead trees, except wildlife habitat trees. Falling snags is not permitted on the Cle Elum Ranger District. No woodcutting is allowed in congressionally designated Wilderness areas. Things to keep in mind when woodcutting: Do not drive off of roads onto wet ground to load firewood. Don’t travel on roads if road surfaces are slippery and muddy, let them dry out before traveling on them. This will prevent deep ruts from developing. Be aware of other forest users, especially mushroom hunters, in areas burned by recent fires. The best time to cut firewood is in the late spring and early fall; avoid mid to late summer as woodcutting restrictions may be imposed due to severe fire danger. Permits must be purchased in person, no permits will be sold through the mail. Individuals purchasing woodcutting permits need to present a driver’s license or other form of picture identification at the time of purchase; they will also need to supply their phone number and address. Woodcutters need to abide by the terms and conditions listed on their woodcutting permit. Be sure to read all conditions and requirements listed on the woodcutting permit and be familiar with the info on the map. A woodcutting area map is a necessity. These maps show the areas that are open and closed to woodcutting and are available free with the woodcutting permits. Special woodcutting rules and conditions apply on the Naches Ranger District; contact their office at 509- 653-1401 for specific information. Firewood cutting season on the Naches Ranger District ends on September 30 or the first Sunday in October if Sept. 30 falls on a weekday. Firewood permits are good through December 31 in the calendar year they are purchased, with the exception of the Naches District, or until areas are no longer accessible. HAZARDS FOUND IN WILDFIRE AREAS: Following are a variety of hazards to watch out for when traveling through areas burned in wildfires. Snags and damaged trees—blackened dead trees or green trees burned through at the bottom—can fall at any time possibly striking people or property; they can block trails or roads, including your exit even though travel was unimpeded when you entered the area.

Fish and Wildlife Service September 2010 Chapter 10. Upper Columbia River Basins Critical Habitat Unit The Upper Columbia River Basins CHU includes the entire drainages of three CHSUs in central and north-central Washington on the east slopes of the Cascade Range and east of the Columbia River between Wenatchee, Washington, and the Okanogan River drainage: (1) Wenatchee River CHSU in Chelan County; (2) Entiat River CHSU in Chelan County; and (3) Methow River CHSU in Okanogan County. The Upper Columbia River Basins CHU also includes the Lake Chelan and Okanogan basins which historically provided spawning and rearing and FMO habitat and currently the Chelan Basin is essential and provides for FMO habitat to support migratory bull trout in this CHU. No critical habitat is proposed in the Okanogan River at this time. Bull trout have been recently observed in the Okanogan River near Osoyoos Lake, but it is unclear if it is essential habitat and what role this drainage may play in recovery. A total of 1,074.9 km (667.9 mi) of streams and 1,033.2 ha (2,553.1 ac) of lake surface area in this CHU are proposed as critical habitat to provide for spawning and rearing, FMO habitat to support three core areas essential for conservation and recovery.

  • GEOLOGIC MAP of the CHELAN 30-MINUTE by 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON by R
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1661 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE CHELAN 30-MINUTE BY 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R. W. Tabor, V. A. Frizzell, Jr., J. T. Whetten, R. B. Waitt, D. A. Swanson, G. R. Byerly, D. B. Booth, M. J. Hetherington, and R. E. Zartman INTRODUCTION Bedrock of the Chelan 1:100,000 quadrangle displays a long and varied geologic history (fig. 1). Pioneer geologic work in the quadrangle began with Bailey Willis (1887, 1903) and I. C. Russell (1893, 1900). A. C. Waters (1930, 1932, 1938) made the first definitive geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). He mapped and described the metamorphic rocks and the lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group in the vicinity of Chelan as well as the arkoses within the Chiwaukum graben (fig. 1). B. M. Page (1939a, b) detailed much of the structure and petrology of the metamorphic and igneous rocks in the Chiwaukum Mountains, further described the arkoses, and, for the first time, defined the alpine glacial stages in the area. C. L. Willis (1950, 1953) was the first to recognize the Chiwaukum graben, one of the more significant structural features of the region. The pre-Tertiary schists and gneisses are continuous with rocks to the north included in the Skagit Metamorphic Suite of Misch (1966, p. 102-103). Peter Misch and his students established a framework of North Cascade metamorphic geology which underlies much of our construct, especially in the western part of the quadrangle. Our work began in 1975 and was essentially completed in 1980.
