WABDR: Ride Respectfully Reminder – Section 4
We have received complaints from local residents in the Section 4 of the WABDR, specifically along the Entiat Summit Road NFD 5200 between Chumstick Mountain and French Corral, that BDR riders are not respecting private property signs and speeding along the road. This forest service road has a negotiated easement with private property owners, allowing BDR riders to go through, but ONLY if you ride respectfully and obey private property signs. There are road signs indicating that the campsites are private property with the owners contact info on them, and signs asking the drivers to slow down for the 1.5 mile ridge line of the private property.
- Many accidents involving BDR adventure motorcyclists riding too fast and smashing into vehicles coming around blind corners have been reported. BDR riders also have set up camp at private campsite facilities not respecting exiting private property signs.
- Please remember, we can loose access to this road if we don’t ride respectfully. In this specific area, White Aspen Camping offers campsites that can be reserved ahead of time via airbnb, Hipcamp, and Riparide.
- Please be mindful, slow down, and only camp in designated areas that are off private property.
