This trail is a relatively easy trail which follows the creek bed its entire length. The trailhead is signed and equipped with an unloading ramp for people using horses. There is ample parking at the trailhead. The trail is well maintained and blazed throughout, but the creek crossings are not bridged. This is an excellent ride with outstanding scenery of the surrounding countryside.

This trail begins off Beaver Creek Road #4106 where there is ample parking with a horse ramp available. The trail starts out as a road but turns into a blazed trail about an eighth of a mile in. Paralleling the creek its entire length, this ride has a very few inclines, and is in excellent condition. Twice during the ride that trail crosses Arrastra Creek. There are no bridges so please use caution when venturing over. Crossing over talus slopes, and through closed canopied Douglas fir trees, this is a very scenic hike. There are open meadows which make superb camping and picnicking areas, with views of the surrounding mountain sides. Right before the second creek crossing, trail #488 (Porcupine Basin Trail) intersects Arrastra Creek Trail. This trail leads to Huckleberry Pass and is an option the rider can choose from.

Continuing on Arrastra Creek Trail, you will soon reach a small pond which is usually full during early spring. Keep your eyes open for wildlife as this is a favorite spot for them. Once past the pond you will reach the Scapegoat Wilderness boundary.

From the State Highway 200 and Beaver Creek Road #106 junction, follow Beaver Creek Road northwest approximately nine miles to the signed trailhead.
