Summary
A beginner backpacking trip up to Sunfish Pond in the Delaware Water Gap National Rec. Area. We will leave Rutgers early Saturday morning, hike up Mount Tammany in the Water Gap, then hike along the Kittatiny Ridge to Sunfish Pond. We'll camp at the lake, leaving on Sunday morning.
On the way back down, we'll do a little bit of hiking community service and repaint blazes and clear debris on the NY-NJ Trail Conference Holly Springs trail.
Overall the hike will be about 11 miles round trip, which means 5-6 miles per day. The hike is steep in spots but we will have plenty of time to take it slow. You may borrow a backpack from the Outdoors Club, so no need to have your own.
