Overview

Tahuya State Forest ORV area is a 4x4 destination for both beginning offroaders and seasoned veterans. While this forest trail system does have man-made​ rock gardens, for the most part, the only hindrance to stock vehicles would be the depth of the standing water in the winter months. Of course, if you are stock, or only slightly lifted, you might want to remain a spectator at the rock gardens since they were put in for more modified rigs. Tahuya has been nick-named "2-Wheel Tahuya" as most of the trails are fairly easy. But in the last few years, that has started to change. There is not really a good map produced that shows all of the trails in this park. The park is a confusing mixture of 4x4, motorcycle, and ATV trails. Other trails are restricted to walking and mountain biking. Tahuya South Loop takes you on a journey through what used to be an untouched forested area but is now clear-cut. Expect to hear your springs popping and undersides scrapping since this trail was designed to max out your suspension.
