Situated within a shady, mature forest, Puma is the last developed camp along Forest Service Road 18 in the Fall Creek drainage. This 11 site campground is popular with families and you can expect heavy usage on summer weekends. Fall Creek offers a cool way to escape the summer heat, and the nearby Fall Creek National Recreation Trail provides hikers with additional adventures along the drainage.
From the city of Lowell, turn left on North Shore Drive. After one block, turn right on Jasper-Lowell Road to Unity Road. Travel north on Unity Road to the covered bridge. At the crossroads in front of the Unity Covered Bridge, turn right onto Road 6240. Veer left at the "Y" and continue east after it becomes FS Road 18. Continue on FS Road 18 to Puma Campground.
Spectacular place. Quiet, nice campsite spacing. Nice little river with swimming hole.
