Washougal River, Miles 15-16

We headed out to the river today...a location I'd been to years ago, but couldn't remember the specifics. I was glad to have some guidance from this posting. However, the directions were quite confusing, as it was unclear if we were supposed to turn left on Washougal River Rd. from 14 (as signs stated, and as I'd done in years past to get there), or if we were supposed to stay on 14 as semi-indicated in the directions. The part about Salmon Falls Rd. left us confused. As it turned out, we turned left at Washougal off 14, on Washougal River Rd, and stayed on that road until the Fish Hatchery. No turns needed (despite our couple of confused turn-arounds). I am curious if all of us missed something in the directions, if there's perhaps a better way to go than we went? Thanks! It IS beautiful, for sure. We ended up going past the Hatchery a few miles to Dougan Falls...also wonderful on a super hot day! Fun to start in the big pool, and meander down to the lower smaller pools later when the vibe of the big pool changes after work.
