This one mile long trail follows the east shore of the creek and the end of the trail is a favorite cross-country route to remote Green Lake, Berdeen Land, and the Noisy-Diobsud Wilderness. The trail is maintained annually by volunteer trail crews, but can be difficult to follow at times The Forest Service purchased the portion of land surrounding Noisy Creek in 1991 using money from the federal Land and Water Conservation fund. A National Park Service wilderness permit is required for overnight stays within the National Park. Permits can be obtained in person at National Park Service offices in Sedro-Woolley or Marblemount. A Northwest Forest Pass is required for each vehicle parked at the trailhead.
