Advocacy Alert: Port Angeles MTB trail access is threatened
The trails we love are under immediate threat. A proposal to designate the Elwha River Watershed as a Natural Area could end or severely restrict mountain biking at Dry Hill, the Zoo, Colville, and the Olympic Adventure Trail. Washington DNR has begun the process of potentially designating these lands as a Natural Area Preserve or a Natural Resources Conservation Area. Neither designation allows for MTB on trails within those zones.
Help advocate for our trails!

30 Years of Stewardship
For nearly 30 years, volunteers have poured their hearts into Dry Hill. The community’s partnership with the DNR has proven that active forest management and world-class recreation can thrive together.
The DNR has been an outstanding partner throughout the years, and that partnership continues today as we work together to identify ways to harvest timber responsibly while preserving the trails and recreation opportunities that make this area so special.
