DNR seeks to provide outdoor recreation opportunities to the public throughout Washington state. Recreation on DNR-managed lands includes hiking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, camping, off-road vehicle (ORV) riding, mountain biking, and boating.

The agency provides trails and campgrounds in a primitive, natural setting. Most recreation on these lands takes place in the 2.2 million acres of forests that DNR manages as state trust lands. DNR manages 1,100 miles of trails, 143 recreation sites, and a wide variety of landscapes across the state.

Fireworks & wildlands don’t mix
If you plan on camping or spending time outdoors this 4th of July weekend, be safe and plan ahead. Please do your part to prevent wildfires. Remember that fireworks are illegal on state protected and public lands.

Updated: July 1, 2009
(Please note: Due to budget constraints, DNR is reducing services at many of its recreation facilities. However, there may not be amenities such as outhouses, picnic tables, signs, or garbage service. Please pack-out what you pack-in. Some gates may be locked, and access will be by foot only.)
