Summit Creek (Klickitat)

A significant tributary of the Klickitat River. Summit Creek appears to be spring-fed and seems to sport significant flow all year. Kayakers run this one in high water, but it may be low enough to be safe for canyoneering late in the season (?). There appear to be two particular sections of interest on the creek: a series of falls between 1300-1500ft elevation on land owned by the Columbia Land Trust-- and a second series between 1600-1800ft on Yakama Reservation Land. This page describes the lower section of the creek.

An unsigned closed/abandoned spur road off of Summit Creek Rd (Rd 207) may provide good access to the lower portion of the canyon. Hikers occasionally make their way down to Skatepark Falls.

LIDAR shows an old track or trail leading from the creek up to the lower switchback on FR 207.
