Description

North Basin is located about 1 mile north of Chimney Pond, to the north of the Hamlin Ridge.

Getting There

Either hike in from Roaring Brook parking/campground on the Chimney Pond Trail to the North Basin Cut-Off trail to the North Basin trail which ends at an viewpoint called "Blueberry Knoll". (The GPS co-ordinates are "set" for the approx. location of Blueberry Knowl.)
If lucky enough to "score" a campsite at Chimney Pond Campground, hike over on the North Basin trail.
