(WA) Open House Nov. 17th at Reiter 4wd Trail

[Josie'sLandCruiser]

Hi All:

This coming Saturday, November 17th, from 10am to 3pm the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) will be hosting an open house at the newly constructed 4wd trail section at the Reiter Foothills area in Snohomish County, just east of Gold Bar off of Hwy. 2.

This is open to the general public, and will include a complimentary lunch provided by Reiter Trail Watch (RTW), an advocacy group for motorized recreation at Reiter Foothills.

Come out and see what is up with the 4wd trail development at the "new" Reiter.

Regards,

Alan

More info from the WA. State DNR:

Load up your 4×4 dream machine and head out to the newly constructed 4×4 challenge course at Reiter Foothills Forest. This course will be open for test rides starting this weekend on November 17.

Do you prefer single-track motorcycle trails?

Single-track motorcycle trails will be available for test rides as well. Two miles of the Red Line and Blue Line trails will be open during these test rides. Check out Riders Leave First Tracks at Reiter Foothills for more information on the single-track trails.

The ATV trails are not ready, but we will let you know when you can bring those along to the test rides.

Please note: Reiter will only be open for limited test rides on the dates listed below.

The nitty GRITTY:

Mark your calendars; here are the dates of the test rides in the 4×4 and single-track areas:

November 17
December 2
January 12 & 20
February 9 & 17

Test rides will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is limited parking and riders may be turned away until parking opens up.


All riders will have an opportunity to complete a survey that will help the trail development team know how to make the trails even better!

Directions:

From Gold Bar, head east on State Highway 2. Turn left on Reiter Road just outside of Gold Bar. Go 1 mile and stay to the right at the 'Y' in the road. Continue on Reiter Road for another 3.1 miles. As you approach the 3.2 mile mark you will be turning left onto a DNR forest road (commonly known as Deer Flats Road). As you approach the turn, there will be a tree with two bright orange painted dots, an arrow painted on the road with a big "R," and a DNR sign that says "Entering Reiter Foothills Forest."

Don't forget your Discover Pass, your ticket to millions of acres of recreation opportunities on Washington state-managed recreation lands.
