Waterfall Description: Chenuis Falls is a series of cascades over smooth bedrock ending in a beautiful pool. The lower section of falls is 168 feet tall. Upper tiers of the falls are not visible from creek level.

Viewing Location: Hike or bike 3.7 miles up the Carbon River Road, then hike a 0.2 mile spur trail to the other side of the Carbon River to view Chenuis Falls. The spur trail crosses the Carbon River via a log footbridge which often washes out during the winter. Check the status of the bridge with a ranger before attempting this hike.
