5/14/2003 - This area is no longer open year round. The area is open from 1 April through 31 October each year. At this time, there are no other sanctioned motorized trails in the Yacolt Burn State Forest.

The members of the Jones Creek Trail Riders Association are doing a great job maintaining the trail, and deserve recognition by all riders using the area!

From Cathlamet, go west on SR4 for 0.25 miles, and turn right on Elochoman Rd. At 3.4 miles, turn right on Beaver Cr Rd. At 4.3 miles, turn left on B1000, a gravel, single lane road. The trailhead is 1.7 miles down B1000, on the right. Contact Kris from the DNR office at 360-577-2025 for more information. -- NMA President.
