SPOKANE, Wash. If you’re planning on using wildlife areas in eastern Washington, you’ll only be able to do that during the day because areas managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will not allow overnight use starting this week.
Because of the increased fire risk and nationally depleted firefighting resources, WDFW said all eastern Washington wildlife areas, including water access areas within these areas, will be open for day use only starting Friday, July 23.
The announcement comes on the heels of recreation access closures to the Methow Wildlife Area in north central Washington due to how close it is to the Cub Creek 2 Fire. The closures include the Pearrygin Lake water access site, as well as Rendezvous, Early Winters and Methow units of the area.
