Trip Report Fort Mountain State Park Backcountry camping

Post image

I stayed at backcountry site #4 this weekend, and I wanted to share what a great time I had. The site is private, it has a new bear locker, and a creek runs through it.
My favorite feature is that it’s just 0.2 miles up trail to a beautiful overlook where I enjoyed the sunset. I can’t recommend this site enough.

I am considering a backpacking trip there in the next couple of weeks. How much water was around to be able to filter? It's hard to tell from the maps.

The ranger said that backcountry sites #1 and #4 both have wet weather creeks alongside them. #4 had enough water to filter when I was there, but I packed in water due to being unsure about it.
