Driving Directions

Take I-84 East from Portland about 40 miles and take exit 41 for Cascade Locks. Take the road through town, East, then under the freeway, continue East on the frontage road on the South side of the freeway to the Herman Creek Campground sign.

If you're going West on I-84, take exit 44 for Cascade Locks, immediately turn left and go under the freeway and then go East on the frontage road South of the freeway to Herman Creek Campground.

In the winter, there's a closed gate but there's an area right next to the frontage road where you can park.

In the summer, there's a narrow paved road that goes up to the campground (to the left) and trailhead (to the right).

Fees / Regulations

Northwest Forest Pass required.
