With less than 1,000-acres of private land, this 101,000-acre tract of Wenatchee National Forest offers excellent public land hunting access. This unit is located along the western banks of Lake Chelan, with Saska and Emerald Peak both topping 8,000-ft standing along the northern border. It then follows Entiat River south along the western edge down to Lake Creek before cutting overland via the steep Devil’s Backbone to Lake Chelan. Cardinal Peak is the highest point, standing tall in the roadless northern portion of the unit with its eastern face draining down Bear Creek to the lake, creating a lake-based access point to the northern reaches of the GMU. Multiple wildfires since 2004 have burned a significant portion of the unit with the 2015 Wolverine Fire burning the western border along Entiat River. This steep unit is dotted with old clear cuts, burns and old growth timber providing excellent forage for wildlife, but relatively little water as the unit drains quickly. Mule deer hunting is fair with low populations of mule deer and some trophy potential. Elk are few and far between, with hunting success extremely low. There are little to no whitetail here; they are mainly found along the riparian habitat. The grizzly bear recovery zone overlaps this GMU.

Black bears, cougars, blue grouse and ruffed grouse hunting opportunities are also found in this region.
