Beautiful & fairly easy 2 mile loop. Tons of beautiful old trees and new growth, with several access points to enjoy Skate Creek. At the trail head there is about 4 parking spots, but if you follow Craig Rd there is another handful of spots around the first bend. There is a porta-potty at the trailhead and a couple of picnic tables. Great views. Please pack out any trash you bring or find. We’ll need to come back in the winter to try out some snowshoeing here.

Skate Creek State Park Officially Packwood State Park Property This local 178 acre natural treasure was transferred to Washington State Parks from DNR in 1990 with the intent of it becoming Packwood State Park or Skate Creek State Park. The property is currently classified as a State Park Property, available to the public as a day use. This land contains the last public access to lower Skate Creek, nearly 1/2 mile of public access to the Cowlitz River, and nearly 4 miles of trails within walking distance of the Packwood village site. The site has historic significance with Skate Creek being an important fishing site for the Upper Cowlitz people. You can wander this huge park independently without getting seriously lost as the main park area has natural borders on all sides including Craig Road, Skate Creek Road, Skate Creek, and the Cowlitz River. You might see elk, deer, eagles, or the beautiful Pileated Woodpecker who makes this park his home. You can occasionally hear the cry of a raptor, hoot of an owl, or the loud talk of a Pileated Woodpecker. You can explore the Cowlitz bar where you can find almost any rock imaginable and see the tracks of elk, geese, and the occasional otter. From Downtown Packwood: Drive North .7 Miles on Skate Creek Road (NF 52) from it's intersection with U.S. Highway 12. The east trail entrance to the park is opposite the intersection with Alder Street. You can park on either side of Alder Street. To enter the Northwest entrance continue north 1/4 mile on Skate Creek Road to it's intersection with Craig Road. Turn left onto Craig Road. Proceed approximately 1/4 mile to just before the Skate Creek bridge where there is a small parking lot on the left.
