0.00 miles Boiling Springs (PA 174/ ATC Office) |
The markers on this map indicate the location of the ATC office. From here the southbound trail (to Sec. 11) goes south along the east shore of the lake. If you rotate the street view to the south, the ATC office is on the left. The southbound AT follows the path and the end of the parking are. The northbound trail (to Sec. 10) goes east along PA 174 for 0.3 miles then goes left (north) into the woods. Rotate the view to the east to look along PA 174. The trail goes left just past the crest of the hill seen in the view. 09/16/09
Update: Google has changed the street view and for some reason has fuzzed out the ATC office and parking lot. --- David Cullen --- |

We have had some of our guests park at our B&B while they hiked a section of the trail, staying with us either before or after they have walked the section of the trail for this year. My son does shuttling if they wish to a starting point and they walk back to us or what other arrangements they wish to make.
