About this campground
Provides access to: Mt Misery Trail #3113, Melton Creek Trail #3124 that both access Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. Jelly Springs Trail #3110 is also accesssed from this trailhead from Mt. Misery Trail west of the trailhead. Jelly Springs heads north to meet Forest Road 40. Diamond Trailhead does not have any facilities for user groups. Parking is limited at the trailhead. This is one of the first hit areas on the District by winter snow falls, thus it is hazardous to get out of the trailhead when there is a snow cover. Practice Leave-No-Trace camping ethics. Pack all garbage out.
