Klickitat Wildlife Area
Dillacort Canyon Unit
The 200-acre Dillacort Canyon unit is within the Klickitat River Canyon eight miles downstream from the Mineral Springs unit. It is owned by BLM and managed for fish and wildlife by WDFW. Habitat types include timber, grasslands and riparian areas. Access is from State Highway 142, though most of the unit is located on the opposite side of the river and highway, which limits fishing and hunting use.

    Other Information
    The best camping and parking area is near Milepost 5, on the west side of Highway 142, beside the Klickitat River. The Klickitat Trail, which follows the west bank of the river, is an excellent hiking and mountain biking route. The nearest access points to the trail are at the lower end of the Fisher Hill Road (just west of the bridge over the river), and at Pitt, north of the Highway 142 bridge across the river.

    Rules for the use of the Klickitat Trail are posted at the access points.
