Lightning Creek Trailhead
This small parking area is located at end of the drivable road and provides access to Lightning Creek Trail #425 and Blue Buck Trail #421. While the trails access Forest Service land, please know that trailhead is technically on state land and is managed by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
This trail allows motorcycles, but ATVs are prohibited.
Note that the old trailhead is no longer accessible due to a washout by Volstead Creek.
