Scouts will enjoy this moderate hike to a crystal clear lake perched high on the mountain. They will also enjoy the several lookouts from the Appalachian trail along the way. The steep ascent up the mountain is followed by an almost flat hike along the top of the ridge, all the way out to Camp Ken-Etiwa-Pec, a former Boy Scout camp now owned by the federal government. Permission for visiting must be arranged in advance.

The yellow trail begins along the road to the range just below the Blackfoot campsite (0.0 miles). After passing by the campsite, the trail widens. Turn left when you reach the junction with the red trail at 0.2 miles. Follow the red trail uphill, first moderately. As you reach the foot of the mountain, you may see trees ringed with orange paint. You are now entering the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

The trail then climbs steeply. Care will be needed on any loose gravel or rocks, but this section of trail is easily traversed by almost any Boy Scout. At the top of the mountain (0.5 miles), you will reach a junction with the Appalachian Trail (white). Follow the white trail to the right.

The trail is reasonably flat, then after a while widens into an old road, at 1.0 miles. The Appalachian Trail follows this road straight, passing by several good lookouts to the right. One of these lookouts will provide a nice place for a break or a picnic. Fairview Lake should be visible below, as should be the many farms and forests of Sussex County.

The trail continues until it reaches Flatbrookville-Stillwater Road at a gate near a weather station, at 2.6 miles. Across this paved road is the entrance to Camp Ken-Etiwa-Pec. Follow the paved road into the camp, and check in at the camp office (3.4 miles). If your troop has arranged for swimming, you will enjoy the eerily clear lake water. Return to camp follows the same path in the opposite direction.
