Paca Pride Access and Private Trail

The most common put-in for Robe Canyon is at 28520 Mountain Loop Hwy, where the owner, Dave Albano, has granted paddlers permission to pass through the property. Because a yurt on-site operates as an Airbnb, paddlers should avoid disturbing guests. The property offers no parking, and paddlers should use the trail along the western end of the property. Park instead at Paca Pride Guest Ranch, 28311 Mountain Loop Hwy, Granite Falls, WA 98252 (360) 691-3395, open dawn to dusk. From there, walk east along Mountain Loop Highway and enter a trail on the south side of the road. The trail continues west through forest, turns southwest at a cedar shed, then descends via one switchback and a short log bridge. The Robe Canyon paddling community helped improve the bridge and trail. After the bridge, the trail crosses a levee and descends to the South Fork of the Stillaguamish, one mile upstream from Robe Canyon.
