Trough Creek State Park is a 541 acre scenic gorge formed as the Great Trough Creek cuts through Terrace Mountain before emptying into Raystown Lake. Rugged hiking trails lead the wonders like Balanced Rock, Rainbow Falls and a suspension bridge. There are 12 miles of trails, 29 campsites and fishing areas. Each campsite has electrical hookups, picnic table and fire ring. Campground has Non-flushing toilets and NO SHOWER.
Proposed Schedule:
Friday, Sep 4- Arrive. Set up. Discuss Saturday's activities.
Saturday, Sep 5: Group activities/ 5pmish : Group dinner
Sunday, Sep 6: Breakfast, strike camp and return home
Participation in the above schedule is purely voluntary as there are so many other activities.
DETAILS:
For the group dinner, please keep these things in mind:
1. Please, no chips or veggie trays as your main dish as they are rarely consumed among more suitable dinner items.
2. Please do not bring food that you have no way of preparing, heating or refrigerating.
3. Unless you are very experienced with cooking over a fire, do not depend on a campfire to cook your food. Fires are weather dependent and sometime temperamental. Unless you cut your own wood, there is no way of knowing what the wood has been exposed to.
4. We generally allow an hour before dinner for food preparation. If your dish requires more time that that, please make arrangements.
I ask that everyone bring a bundle of firewood to support our evening campfire.
If you are planning to bring a pet, please check park rules.
