Hiking Panther Creek Falls

Take a beautiful, very short hike to a lovely waterfall off the beaten path.

There is no good signage for this hiker-only trail but it is well maintained with a nice viewing deck for the falls. The trail drops right off the road just southwest of the parking area.

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From Carson, head north on Wind River Highway. Proceed 4 miles, then turn right on Forest Road 65. Make the first left, following 65 around toward Panther Creek campground. Follow Forest Road 65 for about 8 miles. There will be a gravel turnout for parking on the right. Park in the turnout (leaving room for other visitors) and cross the road to the trailhead.
