Bridge Creek Falls is a 25feet waterfall on Bridge Creek, in the Cascade Range west of Bend in the U.S. state of Oregon. Additional waterfalls are downstream along nearby Tumalo Creek, of which Bridge Creek is a tributary, including Tumalo Falls. All of these falls are within the Deschutes National Forest and is within the municipal watershed for the city of Bend.
The United States Forest Service manages the Bridge Creek Falls Trail about 14miles from Bend by forest roads. The trail is approximately 14miles from the Tumalo Falls day-use area and picnic site and which offers access to trails for hiking and mountain biking.[1] Using the site requires a Northwest Forest Pass or payment of a fee.[2]
The Tumalo Falls Trail leads from the picnic area to Tumalo Falls, upstream of which continues a trail to Bridge Creek Falls.
