State Game Lands No.168 — Attraction in Moore Township

Started at the Wind Gap entrance to the Appalachian Trail and the first mile is the roughly 700 foot climb up out of Wind Gap heading south on the trail. The trail has a few switchbacks which makes the climb easier than going straight up the side of the mountain. Maybe 3/4 mile on the trail, there's a lookout to the right, not marked but the trail to the lookout is easy to see and there's a lot of large rocks to climb if you like rock climbs. Another 1/4 mile is Hahn's Lookout on the left and Pedestal Rock is a nice place to grab pictures and take a break. From there you're on top of the mountain and the elevation is fairly stable. Trail is rocky, should wear hiking boots. I did it in running shoes but the lack of ankle support is not good for longer hikes. There's a small area on the right to pitch a tent and there was a fire pit there as well and a view looking northwest and this is maybe 1/2 mile from Hahn's lookout From there it's nothing special til you get to the fire line and then it's a pretty decent lookout both ways if you wade through the tall grass. Past that another couple miles or so is a power line cutout with another nice view. Past that is a shelter and spring off the trail that is marked. Past that is really lots of rocks and not much else til you get to Smith Gap Road. I had a tad over 16 miles out and back. Enjoyable, but once and done for me. Ill explore other...

So me and my girlfriend went up to 9th street in wind gap and parked off the road in a pull off in the woods and we were up that way waiting for her daughter to get off of school. There was an old christian couple. They live down the end of the road, and drive a white truck.they are the absolute, most rude, ignorant couple I've ever met for Christians they sure must have alot of hail Mary's to say at confession that's for sure they don't know how to mind there own buisness. They had to get out and tell us that we should get out of there because it's gameland property, like it's a sacred Indian tribal land and no one dare enter. The funny thing is we were parked right next to a sign that told us qe are allowed there and listed the rules that we were to abide by which we did. They did not ruin our time because no one steals our peace but they sure were a distraction to the positive things we could have been doing with the time they compleatly wasted by putting in there 2 sense other wise the area...

Did a section hike of the Appalachian Trail from Wind Gap to Lehigh Gap, southbound. A lot of diversity of ecosystems along the way, some great views and 1 difficult descent at Lehigh (if you're heading north it's just as tough to ascend) so if you are afraid of heights or have trouble with vertical climbing you might want to skip the Lehigh Gap end.

If you plan on hiking the southern section, from Lehigh Gap to Little Gap bring water. The old zinc mining operation there has made the water unsafe to drink,...
