- Purchase your Discover Pass before leaving. It is not possible to purchase a physical pass at the creek as no attendant is on duty (you may be able to purchase a temporary pass online but Internet access may be spotty).
- Bring offline copies of maps and other information. Internet access may be spotty. This location is relatively close to civilization but Internet performance may be very slow.
- Maintain your car. The roads are in decent shape for wilderness logging roads, but there are some potholes. Most cars will do fine except cars with very low clearance.
- Young’s Creek can be access in several locations in the Marckworth State Forest.
- You will enter the forest via Ben Howard Road, which is south of the Skykomish River and easily accessed from Monroe or Sultan.
