Access Otter Creek Wilderness via a prominent footbridge high above the Dry Fork River at the northern terminus near Hendricks, which provides the only access to the wilderness from the north.

This trailhead serves as the gateway to 45 miles of unblazed trails through pristine backcountry, with Otter Creek featuring multiple cascades, waterfalls, and swimming holes ideal for paddlers and hikers.

Be prepared for wet conditions with frequent stream crossings, no cell service, primitive camping only, and no motorized equipment or mountain bikes allowed in the wilderness area.
