We’ve been camping here for almost 20 years. It is a beautiful location, but can get very crowded in the fall and spring, making it difficult to find a place to camp. Most established camping spots are large enough for group camping. Unfortunately, its illegal to swim here because this is a Harrisonburg city reservoir. And FYI - we’ve seen a park ranger or sheriff every time we’ve been out there.

This adventure has the trail starting near Bear's Den, but I think it should start south of Buzzard Hill near 949 Morgans Mill Rd, Bluemont, VA 20135 and you should hike north on the AT following the directions in this adventure.
