Popo Agie Falls

Popo Agie Falls is a series of cascades along the Middle Popo Agie River that drops through multiple stages over about a mile of river corridor. The water flows through rocky channels and pools as it makes its descent through the forested landscape.

This area served as hunting and gathering grounds for Native American tribes for countless generations before the region became part of the national forest system. The river and surrounding landscape have remained relatively unchanged for many years.

Local residents consider sliding down certain sections of Popo Agie Falls during summer months a traditional initiation ritual for young people in the community.

The main trail to view the falls starts from Bruce's Bridge parking area and requires a moderate hike with some elevation gain through forested terrain. The warmer months offer the best conditions for walking the trail and viewing the full cascade of water.

The falls feature natural stone water slides that allow visitors to slide into deep pools when water conditions are right during warmer seasons. This feature turns the location into an interactive experience rather than just a viewing area.
