Newbury Creek Road (Forest Road 2204) is an easy, well-maintained gravel road winding through the quiet forest of the southern Olympics. It’s flat and gentle, making it ideal for beginners, casual drives, or anyone looking to enjoy the scenery without much challenge. The forest is dense with evergreens and dotted with bright vine maples that bring bursts of yellow and gold in the fall. Some of the best color sits just back from the roadside, creating a layered depth that feels unique to the season.

A few small campsites and short dead-end spurs along the way offer options for quiet camping or exploring. The road passes several small waterfalls and crosses a couple of lovely bridges, adding variety to an otherwise calm, enclosed drive. Even on a rainy day, the forest feels inviting, with light breaking through the canopy in occasional clearings. Some sites along this road will require a forest pass to visit. Please ensure you've got the appropriate pass before stopping.
