Location Address
250 Cougar Creek Road
Wauconda, WA
This little known trailhead provides access to the Clackamas Mountain Trail segment of the PNT. It is located near the end of a rural community road and is unmarked. Look for the PNT descending from the road and a Thunderbird marker at the trailhead. You may also be able to spot a log bridge where the trail crosses Cougar Creek.
Note: Cougar Creek Road terminates at a two-way fork to private properties. If you don’t want to park on the narrow shoulder of the road at the trailhead itself, the gravel patch between the forks is part of Colville National Forest.
