  • Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Other Week. February 17, 2016
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. February 17, 2016 Recent rain storms and warmer afternoon temperatures have caused snow at lower elevations and in valley bottoms to melt. There is still a lot of snow in the woods, but very low elevation areas are quickly melting out with bare ground, ditch lines, stumps, downed logs and other hidden obstacles rapidly emerging from the snow. Along with the snow melt comes higher water levels in local rivers, creeks and streams especially in the afternoon. A stream that is easily crossed in the early morning hours may become impassable later in the day when temperatures accelerate snow melt. Also, snow bridges over waterways may not be sturdy enough to carry the weight of a person or snow machine; always test these areas before using them. Check current weather and avalanche forecasts before venturing out; go to www.nwac.us for current avalanche conditions. As temperatures increase, snow grooming operations may be sporadic on snowmobile and cross- country ski routes. It is not uncommon for ice to build up overnight and then melt off a bit during the day. Be sure to park in a manner so that your vehicle doesn’t sink in the melting snow and then freeze in place as temperatures drop in the evening. Other signs of spring-like conditions seen in the forest and along local rivers is the abundance of birds migrating back to the area. Chickadees, juncos, finches, sparrows, geese, ducks, and swans are just a few of the birds seen locally.

  • Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Week Through Memorial
    February 8, 2017--Updated info in blue on page 15. Since 1983, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Recreation Report has provided weekly, and in recent years bi-weekly forest information, permit details, and recreation condition updates. Long before smartphones, tablets or even personal computers, the Recreation Report filled a need for providing recreation updates from across the forest. Thirty-four years later, we will continue to meet the needs of present and future generations by placing staff time and resources to meet the greatest need, for the greatest number of people in the long run, primarily through the forest website. For many years, recreation information, directions and conditions have been available on the Forest website. This year, we will be placing an even greater emphasis on providing timely recreation updates via the forest website including trail openings, road conditions, campground information, Wilderness area conditions, and so much more. Already, the website reaches more than 3,000 visitors a day during peak recreation months and will continue to grow as a far-reaching and cost-effective way to share recreation information. Combined with the Forest’s Facebook, Twitter, text message capability, RSS feed, printed Cascade Lookout, and visitor assistant personnel at every office, folks have multiple ways in which to receive information updates about the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Complete Forest recreation information and condition updates are available at www.fs.usda.gov/okawen/ for each ranger district. Get the latest forest news and alerts via text message by texting ‘follow OkaWenNF’ to 40404, 'liking' us on Facebook or following us on twitter @OkaWenNF.

This is Washington’s oldest state 5 park, having been established in 1915. It has been expanded through 6 the trust land transfer program enacted in 1991. This addition 7 increased the park acreage from roughly two thousand acres to two 8 thousand five hundred acres.
