North Fork Willow Creek Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

Follow Willow Creek Road #10080 east of Turnerville about 2 miles to a clear pullout for 3-4 trailers on the south side of the road. The trail takes off to the north, and has many creek crossings, so spring hikers should beware of water levels.

Willow Creek Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

This trailhead is located south of Hoback Junction off of Highway 189. The turnoff for the access road to the trailhead is located just before a large fake moose on the side of the highway. The dirt road leads down to and crosses over the Hoback River, and across open pastures and up to the large grassy parking area. The trailhead has beautiful views of the surrounding peaks including Cream Puff Peak and Beaver Mountain. This is the main access to the Willow Creek Trail System, which has roughly 80 miles of non-motorized backcountry trails, including the Wyoming National Recreation Trail #40480. It is heavily used during the fall hunting season, as well as during the summer months for horseback riding and excellent fishing on Willow Creek.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
