The Outlaw Cave Trail begins at the Outlaw Cave Campground and provides access to the Middle Fork of the Powder River. The 1/2 mile trail descends steeply into Middle Fork Canyon, dropping nearly 500 feet in elevation before intersecting the river just opposite the infamous Outlaw Cave. There is no bridge across the river; please use caution if attempting to cross.
Before you start, we recommend that you do not venture out into these areas during periods of inclement weather. Outlaw Cave Road is closed to motorized use during the winter from January 1 through April 14. Please respect private property rights and all posted signs.
