I think all BLM is closed.

 

[scott_see]

How do I find out if this is BLM land?

 

[scrandall01215]

BLM is Federal land which is open, its State - DNR that is closed. FYI @edslhead just a heads up

Which one is this pit on? I cant tell on my GPS and I really dont know if its state or BLM. You might pm Cogs , he would know.

The Yacolt Burn is DNR and Warehouser as far I know I've never heard of any of it as Federal. But I could be wrong but think so.

Scott, get in touch with Bill Cogley, as he's in Washougal as I recall, and always up to speed on public land closures [state and federal]. And, of course, as soon as the public land is open you'll want to check Trash No Land's website [Trash No Land Home] for the next cleanup event. Great way to meet other local shooters, cleanup the mess that others leave behind, and do some shooting with good folks.

Yep, still a bummer for State Lands. WA DNR still has all state managed lands closed to all recreation. Fed is the only lands that are open, although, all campgrounds, trailheads and facilities are closed. The PDF link @edslhead posted would be the closest federal forest. Oregon isn't too far from Vanc! Both State and Federal lands are open there.

Good posting!! I didn't realize the G. P. Encased Silver Star mt.
There's also a few spotty areas in the burn.

If it's Weyerhaeuser then it's a no go. Weyerhaeuser does not allow target shooting on their property (according to their website)

Care to join me on the committee for the Yacolt Burn State Forest? We'll be talking about what we can do to improve the shooting conditions there. I need committee members! See the info about it here:
