Within Bridger National Forest, Spring Creek Trailhead operates as a dispersed camping area managed by the US Forest Service. The site features several spots with established fire rings and picnic tables, including one location with a large picnic table. Hunters frequently use this area as a base camp, and some sites include meat poles for processing game.
Both the Greys River and Spring Creek flow near the camping area, providing water access for campers. The Spring Creek Falls trailhead begins here, though hikers should expect a river crossing at the two-mile mark on the five-mile route to the falls. Cell service reaches this location, and campers can bring pets and alcohol. For a more developed experience, Sacajawea offers traditional campground amenities seven miles east.
Description
The trail begins with a small ATV bridge across the creek from a dispersed campsite and parking area just on the west of Greys River, about 46 miles upriver from Alpine, Wyoming. It provides motorized access for 2 miles, then becomes a horse/hiking trail that connects to the Way Trail, or over the top to Sheep Pass. Spring Creek Falls is an attraction.
