The Gold Creek trail and the Gold Creek pond trail are both closed for the next 3 to 10 years for restoration work. There's a locked gate near the feeder road with much signage indicating you cannot go to either place. I don't understand why they closed the Gold Creek trail since they're not working on that part.

I have the same question. I understand the parking lot closure. Maybe the trail is closed because they are afraid people will rouge park along the road. But I don't see any reason people can't park at Hyak and walk / run / bike to the trailhead.
I assume cabin owners are allowed to go to their cabins, and as you said, the trail start on the other side of the cabins, well away from the work site.
