Gold Center - Marble Cr. Trail #251

This trail is part of the Marble Creek trail system. Attractions include remnants of historic logging, including a splash dam and old logging camp, fishing, and huckleberry picking when they are in season. Most of the trail traverses through forested areas with frequent water crossings. There are many places where camping is available along this trail. Huckleberries, when in season, are abundant. Occasionally, large game animals may be seen in their preferred habitat. To hike from the Gold Center Creek trailhead to the end of this trail would require approximately 2 days. Evidence of early day logging can be seen in the Marble Creek area. Open to motorbikes but recommended for advanced riders.
