Ohmer Creek Trail begins at a small parking area off the Mitkof Highway at approximately milepost 22. This gravel trail follows the creek and crosses Woodpecker Cove Road (#6280) near its junction with the highway, leading through old-growth spruce and hemlock forest to a floating bridge over a beaver pond and on through muskeg before connecting with the Snake Ridge Road.

A loop can be made by walking back to the parking area via the roads. The varied habitats can provide a wide array of bird species typical of Mitkof Island. A Forest Service campground is located just south of the trailhead providing primitive camping.

Directions:

Ohmer Creek Trail is located approximately 20 miles south of Petersburg off the Mitkof Highway.
