The Nealy Creek Trail runs east from the Table
Mountain/Reecer Creek road to the FS-3521 road. The
trail starts off running through stands of forest and
seems easy enough when you set out off of the Table
Mountain road. The trail becomes increasingly harder as
you proceed east. Sections of off camber will make taller rigs a little uncomfortable to say the least. When wet
there are places on this trail that offer little to stop a rig
from sliding off into the trees and is the reason why it
earns a More Difficult rating.
The Ragan Trail starts off the FS-3521 road and runs
west to join the 4W315 Nealy Creek Trail. Although it is
fairly close to the 4W315 trial in geographic location it is
a vastly different trail. The Reagan trail twists and winds
through old clear cuts, small stands of forest and large
meadows. There is little if any off-camber sections or hill
climbs to this trail but the tight turns between the
stumps on the eastern side will have the longer wheelbase rigs working a little bit harder. The trail should however be suitable for larger 4x4s.The Reagan trail joins the
Nealy Creek trail approximately .6 miles east of the Table
Mountain Road and makes a good loop run in conjunction with the Nealy Creek trail.
When combined with the Reagan Trail (4W316) it makes
a nice loop ride. This is a great trail to run if you are
short on time as it doesn‘t take long to run it. Total time
to run both the Nealy Creek and Reagan trails should
only be about 1.5 hours.
Getting There: Approximately 4 miles west of Ellensburg on Hwy 97 turn north on Green Canyon Road. Follow Green Canyon Road north for 4.9 miles where it will ‘T’ into Robinson RD.
Turn left here and procede about .5 miles and around a right hand corner. Robinson Rd
becomes Green Canyon Rd again and continues north another 2.5 miles. Green Canyon Road
turns left here. Continue straight ahead, the road becomes Reecer Creek Rd at this point.
Reecer Creek Rd goes through many switchbacks as it climbs onto table mountain. After
about 8.6 miles and on top of table mountain, the pavement ends and the road becomes Table
Mountain Rd. Not far (maybe a couple of blocks) after the pavement ends the trailhead for the
Most Difficult rated 4W319 (Crystal Ridge Trail) is on the left, FS3521 is to the right and will
take you to the east end of both the Nealy and Ragan Trails. Continuing for 1.5 miles on Table
Mountain Road will bring you to the trail head for 4W315 Nealy Creek Trail on the right.
