Taking my 2 sons camping around Sasquatch provincial park this weekend and would like to go searching for a dead stand to cut with them for firewood. Of course I have to get out of the park, but am wondering if anyone has an idea of where to go? Thanks for any help in advance.

The road along side the lake up to bear creek should have tons of areas where you can get what you need BUT you really should have a permit. Many will tell you "just do it" which I do, but your really supposed to have a permit.

Technically illegal to cut deadfall without a free firewood permit. Unfortunately in region 2 there’s only a couple spots they allow it, and Harrison is not one of them. Anywhere not included in these maps, you’re cutting at your own risk. That being said, I cut a few cords of wood up Chehalis and Harrison areas each year without issue. Just don’t get caught selling any wood, it’s only for personal use. Here’s a link to the permits.

Or just past the Sasquatch inn, 2nd road right side the log sort dumps their ends outside the gate for people to take for firewood
