FS 52, also more popularly known as "Skate Creek Road," is actually a paved road, but the road is closed in the winter months from November to April. Because of the lack of maintenance, the payment heaves and pitches, so be careful with your speed. You will wish the road was still dirt. FS 52 follows Skate Creek from Packwood, WA, to Ashford, WA. There are many pullouts and camping areas along this road. This area is very popular during the summer months. Many Forest Service roads intersect Skate Creek Road providing opportunities for hours of sightseeing and unlimited camping.
