Gold Creek Sno Park

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.
