Just rode Predator and it was amazing. I can't wait to see more of this DNR+Evergreen stuff. It's really inspiring and entirely unbelievable for those of us who are surrounded by USFS land.

Darrington will become the next Squamish. Get in while the real estate is still real. So good. DNR has really modernized in the last few years - really doing good for the recreating public's current needs. Cheers, DNR. Well done.

It's about time, Whatcom county DNR has not been so friendly over the years.

MX289, it's the same DNR here as in Snohomish, it's a state agency and decisions for what happened at the North Fork were made at the upper levels ie..In Olympia. They are having trail planning meetings for Whatcom County in January, hopefully what's happening down South now is a good sign for us.

You are correct, I found the DNR districts map.

@MX289. There have been some staff changes in upper DNR rec - which likely reflects the sudden relevance of DNR's projects and plans.

Grew up in Arlington (right next to Darrington) - bad ass to see them getting in on the action! @Biocoug1 - many great camping spots near the river

Good fishing too. Great for the town. They will enjoy the tourism dollars. I've been going to the town for years. Alwats Buy a laurel wood IPA at the IGA, chicken strips at the gas station after 20 mile backpack trips. After the Oso slide that area needs tourism. Good folks in that town.

This is awesome! Thanks to Evergreen for advocating to get this (as well as the countless locals I am sure!!!) worked out w the DNR. I'd love to see this kind of partnership with our local DNR, far better to have MTB specific trails rather than the multi user system we seem to be stuck in....so jealous!
