I have the Kittatinny trails mapset and I was thinking of doing some backpacking/camping in the southern section in Worthington State Forest area, probably starting on the Tammany trail to blue dot to the AT then loop around and take the Dunnfield creek trail back. Has anyone been to this area? What about any of the trails from this mapset? Seems to cover a large area and the AT runs through it all. Any suggestions or recomendations? Thanks.

Skip to the previous post in this topic.

I don't have my maps with me but I found this map of a small section of the Kittatiny Region that I hiked last year.

The plan was to park at the hiker's parking area off route 80 but that was completely full (I think it was a holiday weekend) - we got off the next exit and parked at #7 on the map and hiked what's shown as the Beulahland Trail - #8 (though I don't remember that name) to where it intersected with the AT. We continued on the Dunnfield Hollow Trail (#9) to Sunfish Pond. There we took a break (trying to get wet but having difficulty actually finding a decent spot to enter the water) before heading along the AT to the backpacker site for the evening. It was a short hike but pretty rough because of the heat that day. Also because we didn't park in the lot on 80 and hike the AT we didn't see many people at all and I don't think anyone else was staying at the campsite (except a Ridgerunner). If we had gotten there earlier we could have done more exploring of Sunfish Pond and its side trails.
