A nice trip through a quiet forest that features moss covered trees, as well as rocks, boulders, and ferns lining the trail on a steep hillside above a babbling creek.
The main trail is good tread for the first mile, until it trail narrows and becomes brushy. Walk high above the creek, which can be heard throughout the hike, but not always seen. The last quarter mile of the trail is just a faint footpath that is more of a bushwhack than a hike. Wear waterproof clothes if you go in the autumn or winter - you will get wet on this hike! But be on the lookout for fungi; they thrive in these conditions.
There is a side trail that descends to the river and forks, giving the option to go either upstream or downstream, extending your trip as you like.

Before You Go
WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.
Getting There
Take Highway 20 through Marblemount. Just past mile marker 108 you will cross Diobsud Creek, which is signed. Take the next road to the left, which is Diobsud Creek Road. Proceed 1.1 miles straight up this unpaved road past the residences to a gate that that may be used to close the road. Two tenths of a mile past the gate and just around a hairpin right turn there is a large pullout on the right side of the road. Across from the pullout there is a tree with a large slash that has healed (see photo). The trail is right behind this tree; there is no sign for the trailhead.
