Trail Overview

At the edge of Mount Reiner, nestled in the Gifford Pinchot Forest just south of the Nisqually River, Mesatchee Creek Offroad Trail rides along Forest Road 52. It is a densely forested road. This trail ends early because of a roadblock placed by the local forest service due to a washout caused by Mesatchee Creek. But if you are looking for a trail not too far from civilization, this is an excellent trail. There were no visible paths to easily access the stream. This trail is one car, sometimes two cars wide, unmaintained, and made of dirt. Early on in this trail, there is a small quarry that often needs assistance in picking up garbage. Please help us keep this area open by picking up after yourself and helping pick up after others.
