Leader's notes

This hike initially travels through private property. It is a very pretty hike, skirting Lake Cushman for a while before ascending toward a rushing (not at all dry) creek. We will stop and eat lunch at the creek before returning to our cars. If people are interested, we can stop in Hoodsport on the way home for beer, burgers, and/or ice cream.

Meeting place and time

Meet at trailhead at 9 am. Carpooling can be arranged via email prior to the trip.
