Jackman Creek Road is a 20 mile out and back logging road that traverses Jackman Ridge just east of Concrete, WA.
Driving east on Hwy 20 from Concrete, look for Forest Service Road 14 on the left side of the road. Starting up this heavily forested road, I noticed the trail deviates from the map and guides you on a newer road until you emerge into the wide valley of Jackman Creek. There are beautiful views up and down the valley. To the southwest, you can see all the way to the Scagit River and northeast lies the North cascades National Park and Diobsud Buttes with Bald Mountain and Helen Buttes in between.
Spend some time exploring the many mountain streams that rush down to Jackman Creek. There are a number of gated logging roads off of Jackman Creek Road and some active logging going on so be alert for logging trucks. I was here on Monday, June 23, 2020 and didn’t encounter another soul for the 4 hours I was on the trail. It was amazing!
