Soda Creek Trail
Dogs need to be on-leash in Three Sisters Wilderness on: Green Lakes, Moraine Lakes, South Sister, Soda Creek, Todd Lake and Crater Ditch Trails, from July 15 to September 15.
After crossing a flat lodgepole pine forested lava flow, the trail ascends steadily up the Soda Creek drainage through several vegetation zones. This is a primitive trail with no footbridges over streams, thus requiring hazardous fords at high water during early season snow melt. Upper elevation portion of this trail does not usually melt free of snow until mid-summer.
This trail leaves from Green Lakes/Soda Creek Trailhead.
The Soda Creek Trail enters the Three Sisters Wilderness shortly after leaving the trailhead. Wilderness Permits are required for both day use and overnight stays from this trailhead. See "Permit Info" below for more details.
