Elk Flats Trail #3241
This trail begins at the Elk Flats Trailhead and ends at Wenaha Forks. This trail is maintained for foot and horse traffic since it is located within the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness.
From Elk Flats Trailhead, the trail drops drastically for 1.5 miles to a flat, which lasts 0.5 miles, and then descends 3 miles gradually to the Wenaha Forks area on the Wenaha River.
The trail is often heavily laden with mosquitoes at the trailhead and on past the flat section along the trail. Access to the Wenaha River and to fishing opportunities are available off this trail. There are many camping sites at the Wenaha Forks area. Views of the South Fork of the Wenaha drainage are available on the lower sections of the trail. The river must be crossed to access other trails, such as the Wenaha River Trail #3106.
Practice Leave-No-Trace camping ethics. Pack all garbage out.
