Bridge Creek Wilderness, Protected wilderness in Ochoco Mountains, Oregon
Bridge Creek flows through steep terrain with forested slopes and open meadows, dividing the area into two plateaus across 5,400 acres of land.
The United States Congress designated this section of Ochoco National Forest as a wilderness area in 1984, preserving its natural character for future generations.
The five natural springs of Thompson, Pisgah, Masterson, Nelson, and Maxwell supply water to the nearby town of Mitchell for domestic purposes.
Visitors can explore unmarked paths leading to North Point and East Point summits, reaching elevations of over 6,600 feet above sea level.
The 2008 Bridge Creek Fire transformed the landscape, creating new viewpoints while leaving behind fire-damaged trees throughout the wilderness area.
