Scotty Creek Trailhead

*** Scotty Creek Trail is temporarily CLOSED during trail rehabilitation. It will reopen to the public as soon as trail work is complete*** This trailhead is the southern access point for Scotty Creek Trail (#838) [http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=38748&actid=50], which travels north for 4.2 miles and terminates at Cougar West Trailhead [http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recarea/?recid=38694]. The area is located on the edge of a small meadow surrounded by large pine and fir trees just north of Mill Creek Wilderness [http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/ochoco/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=79448&actid=50]. This spot was a watering hole for sheep at Grant Spring in days gone by.
