About Yakima River Wildlife Area
This unit of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife spans several properties along the Yakima River. The largest lies south of the river in the eastern foothills of the Central Cascades, with conifer forest in the uplands. The land is managed mainly to protect federal and state-listed species and other species of concern. Visitors can hunt, snowmobile, watch wildlife, and camp in dispersed areas. The unit has no developed parking, so access is limited, and a Discover Pass is generally required.
