Location
31 miles from Sedro-Woolley, WA

National Forest Development Road 1144 is the nearest road, a fifth of a mile away on foot. Low elevation for the Cascades. Weather is the main thing: over a hundred inches of rain a year and snow measured by the hundreds of inches, so the approach can stay buried for months. Park Creek Campground is under two miles away.

Winter scores best on the record, which is surprising given the snow, so check conditions on road 1144 before trusting that. Open access, no fee listed. Comfortable soaking heat, no scald risk at the temperature on file. No water chemistry has been sampled.
