At Hwy 101 mile 112.6 (approximately 4 miles north of the bridge across the Humptulips) look for the sign to Wynoochee Lake Recreation Area, and take Donkey Creek Road (FR 22) east off Highway 101 to mile 12.9 (just west of the bridge across the East Fork Humptulips). This is FR 2206 and it heads north along the west side of the river. Follow it up to mile 3.2 where a faint trail (an old logging spur that has largely faded back into the forest and now blocked by a berm) heads down into the forest. After about a hundred yards the trail becomes less distinct but if you keep toward the right and follow the elk trails down the hill it should only take about 5 minutes to reach the river.
