This public land unit is comprised of Wenatchee National Forest, state land, and Oak Creek Wildlife Area, and is located between the Tieton and Naches Rivers, just outside the small farming communities in the Upper Naches Valley. Bethel Ridge Rd serves as the western and northern boundary, winding its way over the steep Bethel Ridge. Overall, this GMU has elevation changes over 4,000-ft. However, this is a bit deceiving as the bulk of the unit is fairly mild, rolling terrain in the form of drainages and rolling, open hills. North faces are heavily timbered with mature canopies and represent the largest prime habitat without a road. The more open southern faces are sparsely timbered to open rangeland, transitioning to scabland as you move east up to the river’s edge.
Hunters will have best hunting experience away from the roads.
