Description
The trailhead is unmarked. Trail begins off Green Lake Road near Medvejie Hatchery about 3.25 miles past the gate at the end of Sawmill Creek Road. Green Lake Road is closed to public vehicles, but is accessible to those walking, bicycling, or skiing. When you reach the hatchery, turn left past hatchery employee residences and follow the road about a hundred yards uphill to reach the stream. After November 2020 storms washed out the footbridge, hikers must ford the stream, which is only recommended when water levels are low. After the crossing, the trail is clear of blowdown and major obstacles as of April 2021.
