Appalachian Trail: Lemon Squeezer and Island Pond Mountain
Monday, September 5, 2022
Spend Labor Day section-hiking the AT! That’s right, we are taking on the longest hiking-only footpath in the world – one section at a time. For this adventure, we are tackling a New York section from Arden Valley Road to Seven Lakes Drive. We’ll go through the Lemon Squeezer gap, over Island Pond Mountain, and get views of a forest pond. And because this is a point-to-point hike, there is no need to double-back or take other trails. The entire day is just the Appalachian Trail. Come explore the AT with us!
