Venturing to the 20 acre wilderness preserve is a backcountry experience where guests must be self-supported and able to pack in (and out) all necessary supplies.

Amenities provided are very limited but do include an open-air cabana at the hot spring pools, campsites with food hanging lines and containers, two stocked outhouses, two public picnic tables, and a bike rack. No cell or internet connection available.

Visitors gain access to rugged terrain, hiking trails through old growth forest, beautiful waterfalls, a rich history of the Middle Fork Valley, and a crystal clear geothermal hot spring.

Goldmyer is owned and managed by Northwest Wilderness Programs, a nonprofit organization established in 1976 to protect this natural treasure for the use of generations to come.




Access Report: Updated at least every Wednesday evening

THE MIDDLE FORK ROAD IS CURRENTLY CLOSED BY THE SHERIFF DUE TO HEAVY SNOW. It will likely remain closed until the end of March.

**It is not advised to attempt the journey without extensive back country, mountaineering knowledge and experience.

The office is not making any new reservations in March.

All visitors, who boldly make it to the property by way of skis during the road closure, are expected to check-in with the caretakers and pay the admittance fee upon arrival.**

When the road opens, visitors will need a high-clearance vehicle with 4WD and chains for all 4 tires.

There is currently about 18" of SNOW on the road (which is not maintained), 3 foot snow drifts, and 3 feet on the property.

Snow melt-off increases the likelihood of flooding or mud slides in the area.

Please monitor the weather.

Do not use GPS! Follow the directions emailed to you with the reservation confirmation.
