Briefly about the general area: The Little Huckleberry Trail is a
good hiking trail in the vicinity of Little White Salmon River, and you're sure to encounter some wonderful folks from Underwood here. And that's not everything there is to do here in the Central Cascade Range. Wygant State
Park is a tremendous spot to stretch your legs a bit, and if you're looking for a beach nearby we recommend Koberg Beach. A river like this is too good to miss.
