This trailhead is located south of Hoback Junction off Highway 189. The turnoff for the access road to the trailhead is located just before a large fake moose on the side of the highway.
The dirt road leads down to and crosses over the Hoback River, and across open pastures and up to the large grassy parking area.
The trailhead has beautiful views of the surrounding peaks including Cream Puff Peak and Beaver Mountain.
This is the main access to the Willow Creek Trail System, which has 80 miles of non-motorized backcountry trails, including the Wyoming National Recreation Trail #40480. It is heavily used during the fall hunting season, as well as during the summer months for horseback riding and excellent fishing on Willow Creek.

Trailhead can easily accommodate large trailers.
