backcountry parking

When Skeetawk’s gate is closed, backcountry users may still recreate in the Skeetawk Backcountry area. However, parking options are limited. Do not park in the turnout near the gate, or along the road.

When Skeetawk’s gate is open, backcountry users are welcome to park in Skeetawk’s parking lot. There is no parking fee, but there is a donation box near the backcountry gate. Please feel free to leave a donation.
