Getting there.
* 1. Maps will show you three possible ways to get there. However, there is only one way that works and that is to go straight up Lake Creek Rd. It will try to take you through Timberlakes. However you can’t get through Timber lakes or through the girls camp. Continue up lake creek road past Timberlake. The pavement will end at the top of the mountain. Continue on the dirt road for about a half mile where you will see the first road on the right. At the start of this road is the first of two gates. Use the first combo to get through this gate. Follow this road through some construction for about a mile till you reach the second get. This is where the road gets a little rough. Use the second code to get through this gate. Once through the gate you will cross through a couple of small streams and big puddles they are not very deep. After the water you will wind up a steep hill and make your way to the trails end sign and the park spot. Enjoy your stay.
