Beside the Badger Creek Wilderness in the Barlow Ranger District of Mt. Hood National Forest, Little Badger Trailhead is a small trailhead and the access point for Little Badger Trail #469.

The parking area has room for 8 vehicles. There is no drinking water here, and restroom details are not listed, so bring all the water you’ll need and plan stops before you arrive. With services this limited, it pays to carry a map and snacks and to let someone know your route before heading out.
