This trailhead on the Zigzag Ranger District is where the Little Zigzag Falls Trail (#795C) begins. From Sandy, drive Highway 26 east for roughly 23 miles, head left on Forest Road 2639, known as Kiwanis Camp Road, and stay on it until the road ends.

There is a large parking lot at the road’s end, and the site works for a picnic as well as a hike. A seasonal restroom is available, but there is no drinking water here, so bring your own for the trail.
