Dunnfield Creek, Sunfish Pond, Raccoon Ridge Hike
Classic loop hike including Dunnfield Creek, Sunfish Pond, Raccoon Ridge, and the AT
We will meet at the Dunnfield Creek Parking lot, which is the second to last exit in NJ off Route 80 West. This lot fills up quickly so please arrive early. From there we will hike the Dunnfield Hollow Trail to Sunfish Pond. This section includes multiple stream crossings that, depending on how fast the creek is running, may require getting your feet wet, so please plan accordingly. Trekking poles are strongly recommended. After a rest at a rock outcropping on the northeast side of Sunfish Pond we will continue on the Appalachian Trail to Raccoon Ridge for lunch. After lunch we will travel back down the Appalachian Trail to our cars. Sturdy hiking boots are recommnded. Bring at least 3 quarts of water (you will thank me) and lunch plus snacks. Steady rain cancels. The website will be updated accordingly.
