Chinnabee Silent Trail Backcountry Site 9

We started our hike in from Chinnabee silent trail parking and headed up toward chinnabee lake. We found this spot nearby the big swimming hole "devils den" about 1/2 a mile from the chinnabee lake parking area. We stayed at campsite 9. For 2 nights in April and it was amazing. Little to no bugs, plenty of trees for shade and hammock camping. And a good fire ring built from large river rocks. Plenty of wood around for a fire though it was mostly pine that burnt extremely well but left resin on all our cookware. This site was comfortable for our group of 4 but we felt like we were almost at max capacity at this site. I give this spot 2 👍🏻👍🏻

This is a very nice campsite along the river and is the closest backcountry site to the falls. It is also one of the closest sites to Lake Chinnabee. The site itself it not completely level but has two clearings that would work well for a tent and multiple trees for hammocks. It also has a nice established fire pit and easy access to water for purifying. This is a great spot if you want to go down for a late afternoon swim in the waterfall or a sunrise dip. I also highly recommend hiking here in springtime as all the wildflowers blooming make for an incredible sight. This is also the time of year when the water levels are highest.
