Greentrails - Skykomish #175

Unless the trail up Dingford Creek has been cleared, expect many trees across the trail, someone put the number on the sign, it is somewhere around a hundred, but most have been kicked or moved and all that is left is about 50 trees and all of those are crossable. If you are not scared away, 18 acre Myrtle Lake is found. There are several lakes in the area. All are cross country except Little Myrtle which has an old overgrown CCC Trail to it ff you find it.

Directions: Take 1-90 east from North Bend to exit 34. Go north past the truck stop to the T in the road. Turn right and follow the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River Road #56 past Taylor River Campground and turn right onto Road #5620 and follow to the Dingford Creek Trailhead on the left, parking on the right.
