DESCRIPTION:
Trail #262 starts on Road 889 and wondered up thru an old growth cedar forest for a little over a mile to the junction with Hazel Lake. Just before the junction look for 60' Dipper Falls below the trail on Ward Creek.
When the creek flow is low, the falls look like hundreds of Ladles (Dippers), one on top of another. Others times it roars down the ravine in a nice displaying trail side sound.

DIRECTIONS:
Head east on I-90 into Montana and exit on 26, Ward Creek Road. Head south up the Ward Creek Road #889 for 6.5 miles to a trailhead just before Ward Creek and a left turn.
There is no west bound on ramp, so you have to drive east on I-90 to St. Regis to regain the west bound lane.
