Geared up and ready, you can find great off-roading in the state of Washington. There are several private commercially operated locations, but for state run OHV we found a few to test your mettle! And if you think you cannot ride your ATV in national forests, you are wrong. The rocky mountain terrain and cool high canopy in the forests make for an unbelievable trip to the far north west.
Off-roading in Washington means you will be spending time in the woods, as well as long, winding trails with shrubbery, rock-strewn hill climbs, and tall canopies lined with a variety of trees native to the state. Mountain top lakes and long strips of trail with breathtaking views await more adventurous travelers.
When considering the places to stay, you can plan on RV campgrounds all over the state and plenty of the major hotel chains litter the roads here. However, to get into the very scenic riding areas you might want to find primitive camping for that real intimate adventure.
