Trail: One Eye Creek Trail
Temp: 51 Degrees
Mileage: 5.68 Miles RT
Elevation Gain: 1,000 Feet
Time: 2 Hours

 

We attempted this trail this past summer and the overgrown poison oak and mosquito’s sent us running back to the car. My husband saved it on his “must do” list because there is a rapid moving creek (with fish potential) and spectacular falls.

The trail is accessible by taking Traverse Creek to Bear Creek, then turning right on the County road 12N81. Head up the dirt road for about a half mile until you reach a wide point where the road splits. Technically you can continue to drive to the trail head as the path is wide enough but I’m fairly certain it isn’t to be used by the general public. We park at the first sign and walk about a mile to the trail head, which is clearly marked 11E12 One Eye Creek Trail.

In the summer vegetation grows heavy for the first quarter mile of the official trail, but this time of year the path is clear. Keep in mind though the trail appears clear because the poison oak is dormant, you can still get poison oak from the branches. I recommend long pants for this hike.

The trail by its nature, running along the ridge of a gully is very shaded, which makes for a really cool trek down.

About half way down the trail you will come across an abandoned mine shaft where the trail becomes very narrow. It’s very neat to see from a distance but looks treacherous and terrifying up close.

After the shaft the trail descends rapidly and you will encounter many switchbacks. The elevation decline is deceiving until the return back, but is well worth the trek.

The trail appears to end where the creek widens and is almost river-esq in movement. This time of the year, the trail should end there, because the rest of it would be under water, but due to the lack of rain fall, the trail is easily passable.

It runs along the creek bank and up to some jagged rocks, just past that you will find a beautiful waterfall. The light was perfect for some really nice landscape shots.

The way back is intense and steep. This hike is really nice for its remote factor and lack of over usage, yet it’s still very well marked.
