DNR and WDFW partner to create a joint recreation plan - Press Release

In April 2012, DNR kicked off a comprehensive planning process for the sustainable management of recreation in the Naneum Ridge State Forest, a block of state trust lands located between Ellensburg and Wenatchee on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains.

Naneum Ridge currently has no developed facilities such as campgrounds, but it does attract diverse recreation interests such as hunting, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, snowmobiling, and driving on the ‘green dot’ road system.

Recreation use is expected to increase in the Naneum Ridge State Forest planning area. DNR is planning for the future of the area with a long-range, 20-year vision.
