Roads to be Closed for Wildlife on October 3, 2022
Quilcene, WA – September 30th, 2022 —On Monday, October 3, 2021, the Olympic National Forest will close six seasonal gates on the south part of the forest, including on the 2451 road
in the North Fork Skokomish River watershed; on the 2354, 2353, and 2361 roads in the South Fork Skokomish River watershed; and on the 2294 (two gates) in the Wynoochee River watershed.
This year the gate on the 2270 road in the Wynoochee will close on November 1 instead of October 3.
These closures, which happen each winter season from October 1 through April 30, are part of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Olympic National Forest and the Washington Department
of Fish & Wildlife and are designed to:
* increase wildlife utilization of habitat;
* reduce the siltation of lakes and streams, and protect road systems;
* provide diverse recreational hunting opportunities;
* reduce harassment levels on deer and elk; and
* increase the escapement rate of buck deer and bull elk.
The road systems behind these gates will be closed to vehicle travel until May 1, 2023. The closures extend only to the use of motorized vehicles, including electric bikes; accessing
the road systems behind the gates via hiking or non-electric biking is still permissible.
For questions, please contact Betsy Howell at Olympic National Forest, 360-765-2230.
