Arrowstone Park
About this Park
Arrowstone Park is a wilderness area and protects one of the largest undisturbed valleys in the dry southern interior and also contains large stands of old-growth Douglas fir.
The park allows hiking in a relatively pristine environment that is remote, yet is accessible to a major highway. A forestry road follows a section of the park’s boundary, providing opportunities to enter the park from various locations.
Backcountry camping, nature appreciation, wildlife viewing, photography and hunting opportunities also exist in the park.
Special notes
- No motorized vehicles, including ORVs and ebikes, are permitted in this park.
- There are no facilities provided. This is a wild area. Be completely self-sufficient, and bring adequate drinking water and supplies.
- Wood ticks are most prevalent between March and June. These parasites reside in tall grass and low shrubbery and seek out warm-blooded hosts. Although they are potential carriers of disease, they are a natural part of the environment and can be easily avoided. Protected your legs by wearing pants tucked into socks or gaiters. After outdoor activity, thoroughly examine yourself and you pets.
