Bridge Creek Trail

Bridge Creek Trail is an easy, flat out-and-back hike of about 3.3 miles on the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The trail starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with a high point of about 4,178 feet and a low of about 4,173 feet, so the climb is almost nonexistent. Bikes are allowed. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June and September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run around 75°F for highs and 44°F to 40°F for lows. Winter is cold, with typical January highs near 39°F and lows around 20°F. The trip takes about an hour. The trail is close to several other outings. River Trail is about 2 miles away, and Barnes Springs Footpath is about 3 miles off. Page Springs Campground, about 4 miles away, offers a place to stay. The Blitzen River Trail and the Donner und Blitzen River, a canoeing route, are both about 5 miles away.
