Seasonal road closure on Burch Mountain Road
Burch Mountain Road in Wenatchee closes to the public on Feb. 15 and will remain closed through March 29. The closure applies to the unpaved portion of the roadway, from milepost 1.12 to 7.48.
Seasonal road closures are necessary in some places to protect wintering mule deer habitat. Mule deer and other wildlife winter in the foothills around the Wenatchee Valley. The closures also prevent damage to the roadway during the periods of freezing and thawing conditions. Snowmobilers are reminded that the closures apply to them as well. Violaters face penalties of up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. (Code County 8.34)

A portion of Oklahoma Gulch Road near Entiat is closed Dec. 1 through March 31.
