Wenas and L.T. Murray wildlife areas travel management planning

Wenas and L.T. Murray wildlife areas travel management planning

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is creating a Travel Management Plan for the Wenas and L.T. Murray wildlife areas in Kittitas and Yakima counties. WDFW seeks input from the public to better understand the route network, and how those routes are used, to inform future route designations. Feedback will help WDFW balance sustainable recreation access with habitat protection and conservation goals. 

WDFW hosted two in-person public meetings June 11 and 12 in Ellensburg and Selah.

If you were unable to attend the in-person open houses, you can review the meeting materials.

Your input is appreciated prior to July 12 via the following methods:

  • Answer the survey questions below -- share more about how you visit and what your values are!
  • Tag the Map -- Tell us how you use various roads and trails, or if we missed something!

The Wenas and L.T. Murray Wildlife Areas span over 155,000 acres and feature more than 200 miles of motorized (Green Dot) and non-motorized routes, including the Manastash Ridge Trail system. 

For additional information, please visit the WDFW webpages for the Wenas Wildlife Area and L.T. Murray Wildlife Area
