The big bridge that crosses Harvey Creek near the Bracken Parking Lot has collapsed. It is inaccessible to all traffic, including equine traffic. Due to the fact that logging must continue, Pilchuck is using the Kunde road access for the logging trucks. At this point the Kunde road access is closed to all recreational traffic, but will re-open once logging in the area is done. Please keep checking our website for updates.
Starting November 1st, the Victoria tract is closed till May 1st. This part of the tree farm is closed every year during this time due to potential erosion problems. Please respect the tree farm's closure signs at all times.
The Pilchuck Recreation Association (The PRA) is an organization incorporated by recreational users of the private property of the Pacific Denkmann Co./Pilchuck Tree Farm. The purpose of the PRA is to address the concerns of the Pacific Denkmann Co./Pilchuck Tree Farm with regards to recreational use, trail construction and maintenance and environmental impact to preserve recreational privileges on these lands.

If you find the parking lot at Bracken gate full, here is a suggestion:
To Morgan Parking Lot from the Bracken Parking Lot:
At Grandview and Bracken, turn right (East). Follow Grandview for ~ 2 1/2 miles. Turn left (North) onto West Scouten Loop Road. Follow W Scouten Loop Road for ~ 1 1/4 miles, the road will curve to the right and cross a single lane bridge. Cross the Bridge, continue for ~3/8 mile. At the top of the hill, turn left to the Morgan Gate.
You must be a member of the Morgan Horse Club of WA to park here, any one can become a member for a yearly fee of $25, no Morgan needed for a membership!
