Something for everyone... your choice of a 6 or 12 mile hike, scenic views, bushwhacking, rock climbing and scouting a new trail.

We’ll hike a few scenic trails in Big Pocono State Park followed by some bushwhacking and rock climbing while scouting a new trail. Overall vertical climb is about 600 feet. Total distance is approx 6 miles which includes an estimated 1 mile for scouting. You can easily bail out after this segment or continue as follows: For those hiking the 2nd segment in the adjacent State Game Land 38, we’ll hike a 5 mile loop via the Falls Trail to the Falls, Deep Lake and Wolf Swamp. If time permits, we’ll scout a new stream crossing located off the Falls Trail. Registration is required. Please call or email by 8 PM Sat 11/22 for a meeting place and time. Wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring at least 2 quarts of water, lunch, snacks and extra food if planning on hiking 12 miles. Optional: compass or GPS. Rain/snow may cancel or delay.
