Pentapitch Access?
|
Visiting from CA and just read that the usual access to Pentapitch is closed. It seems I can park at Lisa Falls, cross the creek, and then walk downstream roughly 0.75 mile until I hit the turnoff at the two large trees. Is this correct? Any other advice on the alternate access route? |
|
That will get you there. |
|
There's a subtle pullout prior to the Lisa Falls parking lot, and, prior to the lot on the east side (right) of the road (access to Y Coulior). Look for a old road and a red (or green?) gate down in the trees from the parking spot. This leads to a pipe which can be used to cross the creek. |
|
^^^ It's a chain link fence gate after the power plant and before Lisa falls. No pipe, it's a bridge. |
|
The stream on Saturday was still too high to cross. |
|
We found it with no problems. It's the first pullout on the right after passing Gate B. There's a metal gate that you walk around, down to the river, and cross on a solid wooden bridge. |

I wish this thread was in existence before last weekend when me and a friend went up there. We parked just down from the large pipe that crosses the river and made a sketchy crossing on a some fallen trees to the west. Good to know about the bridge and the gate. Thanks for the pics! |
