Description

This trip will be set within the OTTER CREEK WILDERNESS area.

From parking area on Rt 72 3 miles from Rt 219 past Hambleton and Hendricks and 11 miles from Rt 32 the Otter Creek Trail goes down to the Dry Fork River and across a swinging bridge. About two miles up creek is a wide crossing to Big Springs Gap and Turkey Run Trail to Moore Run Trail. Moore Run Bog is something to see and Moore Run Trail takes us back to Otter Creek and another crossing that is much narrower. Just down creek from that crossing is a HUGE swimmin hole.

Possession Camp Trail take us up a long reasonable grade to Green Mountain and Possession Camp Site. From there it is about 6 miles back to the parking area by way of Green Mountain Trail to Otter Creek Trail and back across Dry Fork River.
