Hike the Dunnfield Creek trail and continue on to the Appalachian Trail, finally finishing at the Mohican Outdoor Center.

The first 3 miles of this hike closely follow Dunnfield Creek making for very pleasing sights and sounds. New foot bridges and downed trees can be seen from previous flooding. After the creek we will hike along blueberry laden trails. While scouting this hike last year I spotted a bear. The blueberry bushes might account for the bear’s presence near the trail. The lunch break is at the very peaceful Sunfish Pond with another stop at Racoon Ridge, perhaps the nicest overlook on the New Jersey AT. There is an optional pizza stop after the hike. Meeting at the McDonalds parking lot at the 25th street shopping center by rt. 22 in Palmer Township at 8:30, or at the Delaware Water Gap Visitors Center at 9:30 located off the first exit of I80 in New Jersey, when heading east.
