Bradley Hills ORV Area
Thursday, December 12, 2024
| Other Names | Mill Creek, North Fork, Beaver Creek, Elochoman River, Wahkiakum County, Keyser Road |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This wooded area offers about 8 miles of ATV trails and some single track. The main entrance road is about two miles long and is maintained and graded but can get dusty during dry weather. The trails are narrow and twisty but sections may be overgrown due to the dense vegetation.
The staging area has a vault toilet, two loading ramps and a small play area for beginners. Most of the trails are rated as moderately difficult and there are some ruts and roots scattered about. The trails are open year-round but get very muddy and slippery during wet weather.
The staging area is only open for day use parking but camping can be found at nearby Elochoman Slough Marina which offers RV hookups, dry land and yurt camping.
