Tahuya State Forest ORV

Tahuya State Forest is a 23,000-acre Washington DNR working forest on the Kitsap Peninsula, approximately 15 miles west of Bremerton and accessible via the Hood Canal Bridge from the Seattle metro area. The forest contains approximately 84 miles of multi-use motorized trail open to motorcycles, ATVs, and 4x4 vehicles, distributed across a trail network that ranges from wide gravel logging road corridors to tight single-track winding through second-growth Douglas fir and red alder. The Kammenga Canyon 4x4 Trailhead is the dedicated heavy-vehicle staging area, accessing 7 miles of purpose-built obstacle terrain including large boulder sections, steep hill climbs, and tight tree-lined routes designed to challenge full-size rigs with skid plates and lockers. The remaining trail network is graded for smaller OHVs and motorcycles, with several loop options connecting back to trailhead parking. A Washington Discover Pass is required for all vehicle access to state forest trailheads. Primitive camping is available at designated sites within the forest. Tahuya's Kitsap Peninsula location, ferry-accessible from Seattle, gives it an unusually urban-adjacent character for a forest this size, drawing riders from the Puget Sound metro alongside Kitsap and Mason County locals. Managed by the WA DNR South Puget Sound Region.
