I was planning on camping at Puffer Pond this weekend. Does anyone know what are the odds that the Kingsflow trailhead and road leading to it be plowed after yesterday’s storm? I’ve never been there, so I don’t know what to expect.

A man needs to believe in something. I believe I'll go hiking.

Can't tell you fopr sure Zac. I know that Warren County got one of the highest accumalations of snow so depending on who plows in there, i would imagine it's a low priority.
Hey if you can't get in, you guys can always come by here.

We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it." Lyndon B. Johnson -
It's plowed by the Town of Indian Lake almost to the start of private land about 1/8 mile from its end. From there the owners of the Chimney Mountain Wilderness Lodge have contracted with someone to do the area around the camps and the partking lot. I have been there a dozen times in the past 5 years and it has always been plowed. I would not expect a problem.
But then again.....

Lumberzac,
I just spoke to the owners and the road is plowed. Hmmm... I just noticed your post was from the 15th, so maybe you already went in. If so, how was the trip? I heard they knocked down the old lean-to and built a new one.Comment

zac couldn't make it.
yep, it was plowed.
new lean-to and outhouse.
great trip!
tough going... breaking trail was really ugly, really slow.

I'll be up in the area next week, but I don't know if we'll get over to Puffer. (I live in PA) I love Puffer Pond. When I die, I want my ashes scattered over the pond...
Have you ever seen the rock there with "Joe King 1870" carved in it?Comment

nope. this was my first time time heading in there, didn't see much but snow.
funny, i've gone by the area so many times on the way up towards parts further north.
i'll have to go back this summer.Fly Fisher's Anglers Association- a fine drinking club with a fishing problem
