Kings Lake Route
The Kings Lake Route is a great option for riders looking to explore the forested backcountry of Pend Oreille County. Winding through the Colville National Forest, the route offers a chance to experience Northeast Washington’s rugged mountain scenery, quiet forest roads, and beautiful high-country surroundings. It’s an opportunity to slow down, take in the views, and enjoy the kind of off-the-beaten-path adventure that makes this corner of Washington special.
For a little planning context, Kings Lake Road climbs from the Usk area toward the lake and connects with a network of Forest Service roads. Riders should check the Colville National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map for current motorized access and seasonal restrictions before heading out.
Motorized vehicle users: Make sure you have your MVUM with you!
Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) are the official maps for designating all roads and trails available for public motorized travel on the Colville National Forest. Visitors should not rely on any other map for making decisions about motorized travel. A MVUM is a legally enforceable document that identifies the roads, trails, and areas where motor vehicle use is allowed in a Forest Service administrative unit or ranger district. Forest User Maps combine information from the Motor Vehicle Use Maps and firewood cutting information. This provides a single map that includes the necessary information you will need to navigate the forest for recreation, firewood cutting, and other adventures.
