For those who want rugged, the Leavenworth Ranger District has some great canyons and other assorted rocky terrain. Icycle River is the big draw, for good reason. Imagine 20 miles of picturesque views of rock outcrops, jagged peaks and a rushing, boulder-strewn river. But don't just pass by Chumstick-Sugarloaf, which runs north of Leavenworth through rolling hills, past picturesque cabins and farms.

There are approximately 5,000 miles of forest roads which provide access to campgrounds, trailheads, scenic vistas, woodcutting and berry picking areas, hunting areas, rockhounding areas, lakes, and streams. In the winter, snow closed roads are used for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling.
