6.00 miles Whiskey Spring Rd. |
The AT crosses the road where the Mason-Dixon Trail begins, so if you are coming from the Dillsburg side of the mountain, you will be able to follow blue blazes along Whiskey Spring Road for several miles, right to the AT. Whiskey Spring Road is also accessible from Boiling Springs & Route 94. --- There are several places to pull off on Whiskey Spring Road, though parked cars are left very near to the traffic lanes. Pulling out of these spots can be very tricky, since you won't be able to see cars coming up the mountain, and people fly up this road. 01/06/08 --- Matt Hauger --- |

The section between Whiskey Springs and Oldtown Road is really quite charming, with beautiful boulders for scrambling and picnicking. Amazing area (right in our own backyard!)... 9/6/05 --- Matthew hauger --- |
