About This Trail

Imported description

Evans Creek ORV park is located about 45 miles southeast of Seattle on highway 165 to Mowich Lake. The park provides a little bit of something for everyone. With trails from easy to most difficult and is arranged for motorcycles, ATVs and off road vehicles. A campground is available for those who want to camp and is accessible for even larger RVs At the main entrance is a large staging area. Northwest Forest passes are required for the park and it is not uncommon to see enforcement officers checking for them. Trails are numbered and marked for difficulty as well as type of vehicle. Evans Creek offers plenty of challenge and lots of beautiful scenery, with viewpoints of Mount Rainier that are hard to beat. Conditions at Evans Creek can vary widely with the weather and season. In winter the park can be closed due to snow and even into late June or early July the upper trails can still be impassible if snowfall was heavy enough. Each season presents it's own set of challenges. Those who have been to the Rubicon Trail say that if your 4x4 will pass the Evans Creek challenge then you won't have a problem with the Rubicon!
