Anyone know if backpacker 2 by sunfish pond is open for camping yet? I'm thinking of taking one of my kids up there for an overnight next week.

Something tells me I would have seen a frantic person running up and down the trail if that were the case.

Long shot, I know, but my son found a watch on the side of the Dunnfield Creek Trail in Worthington State Forest in NJ. It was after the trail breaks off from the AT, maybe a mile or so from the...

Good info, thank you.



Say I was to start at the Bohen Run Trailhead as an alternate start. As far as I can tell, I cut two miles off the total. Is my math/research correct?

Has anyone hiked the West Rim Trail in PA? Considering heading up for a weekend. We're going to use Pine Creek Outfitters to run us down to the South end and hike back to the car.

How often do you update your guides. Considering buying for a 2019 trip, but not if it's going to see an update before next year.

This is quite possibly the best, most concise, East Coast travel plan I've seen on any site. Thanks.

I'll have to take a look again next time I'm up there. Thanks.

Indeed. We spent the night up there last week and had a great time.

Somehow managed to not quote your post.

We went up last week and spent Monday night there. The only thing I didn't find was the mountain stream you noted. We got water from Sunfish Pond.

We definitely plan to go back, so if you...

Thanks so much for the help. Any idea when to expect it to start getting busy?

Thanks for the info. I will be hiking with my 7 year old son and with the itinerary posted above, it would be about 5.5 to 6 miles each way. Am I going to be turned away because of the relatively...

Also, this post is about 5 years old, but it sounds like they have a bear box at the site. Hopefully someone can confirm it's still there.

I called the office and while the ranger I spoke to was very nice, she really couldn't give me an answer because the campsite isn't Worthington's.

So, here's what I've found. From the state...

Can anyone tell me about the campsite in Worthington State Forest that I've circled in the attached picture? It's about a half mile west of Sunfish Pond.

Is this a strictly thru-hiker site? I am...

Gotcha. I thought I had added it to the OP, but we'll be going next summer. Sometime between late June and mid August. We don't want him to miss school.

All, thanks for the input.



He'll be seven by trip time. As my brother-in-law says, he doesn't have a battery, he has a power cord. However, I'll keep our plans flexible so as to not do...

Hello all, new here and tried searching, but couldn't find what I was looking for.

Little backstory: I live in southern NJ. My six year old son and I are interested I hiking the JMT in 4 years,...
