Popo Agie Falls
A series of disjointed cascades on the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie River just above Sinks Canyon State Park, with the main drop around 60 feet; reached by a ~1.5-mile one-way trail from Bruce's parking area.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check U.S. Forest Service (Shoshone National Forest) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Popo Agie Falls drops about 60 feet. That makes it the 354th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 48% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Popo Agie Falls Trail (Falls Trail) reaches it about 3 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 600 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Lander. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with U.S. Forest Service (Shoshone National Forest) for closures and current conditions.
Summer. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
