Fishhook Trailhead is located in the Hatcher Pass East Management Area.
Located at the base of Marmot Mountain, this area gets year-round use. During summer months, paragliders often launch from Marmot Mountain and land in the parking lot. Blueberry picking in mid-summer is popular. In the winter, the parking lot becomes a destination for both sledders, skiers and snowmobilers. The Hatcher Pass Snowmobile Corridor Trail passes by the trailhead making this an ideal location to start a snowmobile ride over Hatcher Pass to the west side of the mountains.
