NACHES, Wash. -- Winter logging will bring some trail restrictions to snowmobilers using Gold Creek (Forest Service Road 1705) Sno-Park and groomed trail off State Route 410 near Whistlin' Jack Lodge and Resort.
After midnight Monday, snowmobilers will have trail access from 3 p.m. Thursdays to early Friday and then after 3 p.m. Friday through the weekend. Logging operations will then begin again early Mondays.
The Gold Spring Timber Sale area has specific timelines for harvesting timber.
"After talking to local businesses over concerns of the closure affecting their business, I talked with the purchaser who agreed to work their operations around crucial times for business," said Nate Standish, Naches District Timber Sale administrator, in a news release.
The administrator anticipates the restrictions will remain for the rest of the winter.
