Hidden Gem

About 3 miles up Dickey Creek rd (NF-1639) there is a site where you can pitch a few tents on some packed dirt and rocky ground. There is a stone fire ring located at the site and room to park a vehicle (or 2). The stunning waterfall on the creek located just a few feet away from the site is what really makes this location a hidden gem; providing the perfect ambiance. There are a couple more sites located further up the road at the end of the drive.
