Wanika Falls Campground

Wanika Falls Campground is a designated primitive tent site located along the Chubb River in the Adirondacks, accessible via a challenging 7-mile one-way hike on the Northville-Placid Trail from Lake Placid.

The campsite sits near a scenic waterfall and series of cascades on the Chubb River, making it suitable for backpacking trips.

Fires are allowed at this remote backcountry site, though visitors should be prepared for a full-day commitment and carry proper gear and navigation tools.
