From I-90 W, take exit 53 and turn right on WA 906. The first spot to park is directly ahead, at the turn to Lake Mardee Road. Turn right to go down Lake Mardee Road. After 1 mile, on the left is the entrance to the Gold Creek Snowshoe Trail. Continue for another 1/2 mile to reach the snowmobile trail.
Gold Creek is a beloved destination featuring space for snow play and the easy, scenic Gold Creek Pond Trail (1.7 miles). This spot is a favorite among snowshoers and families with kids or first-timers. It also provides access to 23 miles of motorized trails with stunning views of the Central Cascades.
This area is currently closed outside of winter due to a major habitat restoration project, making this a rare chance to explore the site while it’s open and help visitors enjoy it responsibly so it can stay open for seasons to come.
