Horse Riding and Camping

The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest has miles of trails available for horses and pack animals. Don't forget llamas! Some of the trails allow for camping and some have specific camping facilities developed. The national forest requires livestock use certified weed-seed-free feed.

Many trails on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest are open to hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians alike. Everett Lewis, a member of the Backcountry Horseman of Washington developed a video to provide recommendations on safely sharing the trail.

Trail etiquette for multiple-use trails calls for horses to have the right-of-way. Hikers should yield to horses. Bicyclists should yield to horses and hikers. Horse riders are responsible for the control of their horse at all times.
