Money Creek Campground

Recreation
In addition to being a prime location for hiking, and fishing in summer and early fall, Money Creek offers excellent skiing and snowshoeing in the winter months. The Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest's 1,500 miles of trails can entice any hiker to get outdoors. From smooth paths meandering through deep quiet forests to challenging ascents up boulder-studded mountains, opportunities abound for every skill level. Nearby Barclay Creek Trail is an easier hike that follows Barclay Creek through diverse forest until reaching Barclay Lake at an elevation of 2,422 feet. Along the trail, hikers will encounter old growth trees, deer ferns, trillium, wood violets, bleeding hearts and salmon berries in season. Cedar boardwalks lead to a log bridge that crosses Barclay Creek. Once over the bridge, visitors will arrive at the lake and can take in an outstanding view of the north wall of Baring Mountain, dramatically rising 3,700 feet above the lake.
