Thirteen Mile Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

season May 10 to October 28

Located just off highway 21, this trailhead offers parking space for larger vehicles with trailers and several passenger vehicles with lots of space to get ready for the trail. There is a stock ramp, hitching rail, outhouse and garbage service. The entrance to the trailhead is located on lands belonging to the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. There are a few rustic campsites on CTCR lands with tables and rock fire rings, but rules on CTCR lands are different than on National Forest System lands and users should take the time to learn and understand those rules before recreating on CTCR lands.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
