Trail Overview
Horse Creek Road connects the Santiam State Forest entrance area with the Molalla River. It starts on South Family Camp Road and goes to the South Fork Molalla River Road. The Santiam State Forest may be closed because of forest fire damage. Horse Creek Road crosses several private properties, so closed gates are a possibility. A majority of the road is on BLM land. There are several creeks that the road crosses, including Horse Creek and Gawley Creek. When overflowing, Gawley Creek crosses over the road, so be aware of creek levels and the fording capabilities of your vehicle. There are many falls alongside the road, so be sure to look out for them, especially in the S]spring or after rain.

Difficulty
When overflowing, Gawley Creek actually crosses over the road, so be aware of creek levels and the fording capabilities of your vehicle. Otherwise, the road is fairly smooth, although some sections may be rough.
