Yacolt Burn State Forest - Silver Shadow Trail

Getting There

From I-5: take exit 11 for Battle Ground. Follow 219th St.(SR 502) east for about 6 miles. 219th becomes Main St. as you enter Battle Ground. At Battle Ground turn left (north) at the light signal onto SR 503 (Lewisville Highway). Follow SR 503 5.6 miles north past the Lewisville County Park then turn right at NE Rock Creek Road. (If you miss Rock Creek Road, then turn right at NE Beebe Road. It is the next right.)

The Tarbell trailhead is about 15 miles from the Rock Creek Road/SR 503 junction. Stay on Rock Creek Road and follow it south, it turns to the east and changes to Lucia Falls Road. Follow Lucia Falls Road past Moulton Falls County Park. You are now about 8 miles from the 503 jct. Just past the park turn right on NE Sunset Falls Road (Country Road 12.) and go 2 miles.

Turn right on Dole Valley Road/NE 312th Ave. and cross the bridge over the East Fork Lewis River. Follow Dole Valley Road for 2.4 miles. Now take a slight left onto a gravel road (L-1100). The L-1100 Road climbs through DNR timber harvest lands (keep an eye out for log trucks coming around the corners). In about 2 miles after leaving Dole Valley Road arrive at a large flat gravel area with a view to the east. The Tarbell Trailhead is on your right.
