Parking: Parking spot just at the start of the trailhead. Not an over crowded trail so easy to find parking Dog-friendliness: The trail is per friendly but need to keep t ... more

Really nice little spot

Cody was awesome! I'm not a swimmer and I felt safe, in fact, I would do this again!

Outstanding dirt bike and 4x4 trails and practice areas. Im mostly a dirt biker so thats where Ill focus my comments. The dirt bike trails are mostly less difficult than ... more

Its a solid workout up to the lakes, but worth it. First two miles from the trailhead are mostly flat, veering right to avoid the unfinished bridges. Final two+ miles are ... more

Easy hike on a forest service road. Lots of sunshine

Sper pristine forested areas, roads led to trail access and some spectacular flowers. Does make me wonder why no shooting signs are targeted by guns. Dont touch the lake ... more

You can swim at the lower fall area.

Cool to look back in mining history

Great dog park off Hwy 2 on the way in and out of the mountains. We wanted to run out the energy of our pups during a stay in Skykomish and it was an easy 20-minute drive ... more

Nice easy trail and beautiful view, lots of old growth in a natural environment of maintenance of the trail. Definitely a gem of the #PNW

Barclay Lake Trailhead is a nice trailhead and good access to the trail.

I really don't want to give this five stars because then other people will start showing up, But this really is one of my favorite trails. It winds gently up through the ... more

I'm sure it's beautiful. But the road is closed. So be prepared to walk another 1.5 just to get to the trailhead. I didn't have that kind of time on my hands

It is a nice lake. Yes the gravel road is about 5 miles. Quite an nobody there on the weekend. Dogs loved it. No bathroom

Great little cabin with an excellent view. Check-in process was easy and we enjoyed our stay.

The approach is pretty but not well-marked and grueling at times. Some bush-whacking involved at the end. Make sure to download the area and the routes offline, you wont ... more

Very quiet and a very lovely camp ground Playground: I believe theres 2 playgrounds, one at the youth center and one over by the guest rental spots Restrooms: They kept s ... more

Beautiful campground in the Cascades. Camp host Ryan does a marvelous job in maintaining the site.

Easy hike until right before you get to the falls. Then the hard part comes. Theres two waterfalls you can get to and both are gorgeous. We went more like 7 miles acciden ... more

Nice creek, trail is very overgrown and all the bridge crossings are collapsed. Needs help.

One of the most desired destinations every season on the pnw.

Short walk (maybe 50 yards from our campsite) to South Fork of Skykomish river. Went there because my wife wanted to car camp, but brought fly fishing gear in case. Str ... more
