OHV Trail Riding Areas

• Newport RD

  Truly the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the Newport-Sullivan Lake Ranger Districts are found in the most northeastern portion of Washington State with Canada as their northern boundary. Reaching from the Three Rivers Ranger District Boundary, it encompasses two of the highest peaks in eastern Washington. Abercrombie, the second highest is found west of the Pend Oreille Valley. After crossing the Pend Oreille Valley the Districts then climb to the highest peak in eastern Washington, Salmo Peak, found in the Salmo-Priest Wilderness  Following the ridge south, rather than the State line, the District goes all the way down to the city of Newport.
  
  The Newport-Sullivan Lake Ranger District prides itself its outdoor opportunities. The southern portion is frequented by off highway vehicles, while the north is visited more by those who enjoy mountain biking, hiking, and water recreation. Home to the largest mammals in the state, the Newport-Sullivan Ranger Districts are the home to Grizzly bears, Black bears, cougars, bobcats, moose, elk, wolves, and mountain sheep.

• Batey-Bould Trailhead
• Three Rivers RD

  The Three Rivers Ranger District offers unique opportunities to its visitors. It is situated between the Kettle Mountains to the West, down to the Columbia River and then back up into the Selkirk Mountain Range on the East.
  
  The Three Rivers Ranger District has the most disability accessible sites in the Forest. Wheelchair accessible trails, hunting blinds, campsites and docks welcome people from all backgrounds. Scenic drives offer breathtaking views from the Sherman Trail over the Kettle Mountain Range to Aspen Groves dotting the Little Pend Orielle Lakes area. On the southeast OHV enthusiasts are greeted with a large assortment of trails to choose from.  With the largest groomed cross country ski area in the Colville National Forest, visitors can enjoy a warming hut while gliding through the trees around Frater Lake.

• Tonasket Ranger District

  Tonasket Ranger District's 415,000 acre landscape covers five distinct blocks, or areas, across the eastern half of Okanogan County in North Central Washington; bordered on the north by Canada and the southwest by The Colville Indian Reservation.  The largest contiguous block is west of the Okanogan River.  It includes the northeast corner of the Pasayten Wilderness and shares a boundary with the Methow Valley Ranger District.  The Buckhorn, Mount Hull, Bonaparte and Aeneas blocks make up the east side of the District. 

  Grass and shrubs dot the lower elevations, climbing to beautiful ponderosa pine forests at mid-elevations, then Douglas-fir/western larch, and the subalpine and alpine forest at elevations above 6,000 feet. 

  More than 180 miles of trail are maintained for hikers, horseback riders and motorized recreationists.  There are several developed campgrounds as well as a lot of opportunity for dispersed recreation.

  With fairly long travel distances from major northwest population centers, the District is considered a bit of a well kept secret by those who make the journey.  Whether it is June when the colorfull hillsides of Horseshoe Basin are a riot of color with wildflowers in bloom or in January when the glittering snow at Highlands snow park sparkles in the sunshine, the National Forest lands managed by Tonasket Ranger District offer a chance to stop, take a deep breath and feast on the Natures Glory.
