Cayuse Creek-Monroe Creek Trailhead

This remote trailhead provides access to Cayuse Creek and Kelly Creek via Trail #567, offering approximately 8+ miles of Class III whitewater paddling through a scenic gorge before connecting to Kelly Creek's Class II swiftwater section.

The put-in is located just above the bridge on river left (requiring a short bushwhack through a swampy meadow), with the take-out at Forest Service Road 255 where it crosses Kelly Creek; note that seasonal access is limited to late June through mid-July depending on snowpack, and high water flows (500-600+ CFS) are essential for paddling.

This is an extremely remote location suitable only for intermediate to advanced paddlers due to continuous, pushy whitewater and limited rescue options.
