Cherry Creek Falls

Puget Sound and Islands

updated 5 days ago

As of March 21, 2026, Cherry Creek Falls is experiencing very muddy conditions, especially from mile 1.5. Several creek crossings are trickier due to recent rain, and the main log crossing is notably slippery. Parking is limited roadside with no facilities. Reports from January 11 and January 11 also mention significant, high-volume creek crossings, with one noting water potentially above boots. Snow was intermittent in late December but the trail is currently reported as snow-free (February 1). Issues with ATVs/motorbikes impacting trails have been reported, with notifications sent to land managers (March 5).
