How to Contact Goldmyer
Goldmyer is approximately 25 miles east of North Bend, WA on the S.E. Middle Fork Road
(FS Road 56). FS Road 56 is gated with a locked gate at the Dingford Creek
trailhead. The road is usually passable by a car with regular clearance from
late spring to early fall. Parking at the trail head requires a Forest
Service parking pass, which can be obtained at REI, Forest Service offices, such
as the office in North Bend and the three Shell stations in North Bend. It is
about a 4.5 mile hike from the locked gate to the bridge across the Middle fork
River. Driving instructions can be obtained from the Goldmyer offices, located at
202 N. 85th, #106, Seattle, WA. 98103. Our telephone number is (206)789-5631.
Leave a message on the answering machine. The office
is staffed on Tuesday afternoons and Friday evenings, so be
sure you call well ahead of your intended visit. Reservations are always recommended, and
during the busy summer season, required to assure access. We limit access to 20 people per
day. Call far enough in advance so that we have a chance to call back and confirm your
reservation. The entry fee of $15.00 per adult per day grants you access to the property
for either a short day visit or an overnight stay of up to 24 hours.
Check-in time is from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Check out time for an overnight stay
is 12:00 noon. Children are free, and must be accompanied by a
parent or guardian at all times. Memberships are available for folks who intend to visit
frequently. Our 4-visit membership is $50 and the 6-visit membership is $75.
Additionally, we have a sustaining membership level for $100 or more. Maximum
group size is 12. Reservations for all must be paid in full in advance. We
accept credit cards for advance payments but not at the springs. Contact the office for information, reservations and detailed directions. If you
desire, use of the property can include camping in one of several beautiful wilderness
campsites overlooking the river.
