Site: Hemlock Picnic Area
This site on Trout Creek offers a covered picnic area and viewing platform at a steelhead recovery site on the historic Wind River Nursery and Hemlock CCC Camp. This is a great jumping off point for more strenuous hikes and adventures, but also an easy place to experience nature and history.
This shaded and pleasant picnic site on Trout Creek offers a covered area with picnic tables and a viewing platform on the Wind River. The river is experiencing change and regeneration after the removal of Hemlock dam. The viewing platform adjacent to the river provides a unique opportunity to observe the recovery process. The site is near the historic Wind River Work Center and is close the accessible Whistle Punk Trail #59.
