PATC Women's Fall Camping Trip

The PATC Fall Women’s Camping trip is scheduled at Spruce Knob Lake Campground from Friday, October 3 to Sunday, October 5, 2025. The weekend itinerary includes rest, relaxation, hiking, and local exploration.

The Spruce Knob Lake Campground is tucked in a beautiful hardwood forest less than a mile from Spruce Knob Lake. The campground provides a peaceful setting with easy access to boating on the lake and hiking through the mountainous region.

Spruce Knob, Spruce Knob Lake, and the campground offer various experiences, though travel to the site may be difficult. The route involves a 12-mile paved segment and 5 miles of rough, unpaved road leading to the campground, with the lake an additional mile further. ***Arriving after dark is not recommended due to road conditions.****

***Please note, this will be primitive camping! Participants will be responsible for booking and paying for their campsite as well as bringing your own food, water, and camping gear. There are drive in camping spots as well as Walk in Camping spots (no parking near camping spot)***

Visit the Knob Lake website to learn more and/or book your campsite.
