**Recreation alert: CLOSED** DNR has temporarily closed the Harry Osborne State Forest in Skagit County to motor vehicle access after years of vandalism, garbage dumping, and other public safety issues. Parking at the Les Hilde Trailhead will be closed through July 1 and camping will not be allowed through the end of the year, though the forest remains open for walk-in dispersed recreation.
A Discover Pass is required for access to Harry Osborne State Forest.
Great horse riding trails. I grew up here. Back Country Horsemen work tirelessly to maintain dozens (hundreds?) of miles of trails. My happy place. Shoes recommended, but not an absolute necessity if you’re careful. Terrain varies, so be prepared.
