Significant improvements were made to the Logan Trail at Tar Hollow. This included improving the trail surface and adding two water tanks at the former group camp in Dulen Hollow and the existing camp near the fire tower. The causes a few changes to the description at Point 4 and in the Camping Along the Trail section, as noted below:
Point 4. Fire Tower Picnic Area on South Ridge Rd (F3)
Facilities: C, P, PT W.
Leave SW on footpath that lies E of and more-or-less parallel to South Ridge Rd. Cross Clark Hollow Rd (F2) after 0.7 mi. Continue to meander generally S near South Ridge Rd across several ridge lines and a similar number of ravine tips. After 0.7 mi, the trail joins South Ridge Rd for 130’ before reentering woods on the E side of the road. Soon after crossing beneath a power line, cross South Ridge Rd onto the trace of an old road; head SW.
Camping Along the Trail
- Near Pt 4, primitive camping (fee) is available in 5 dispersed sites 1200’ SE of the fire tower (P, Pr, PT, W). Near Pt 5, dry camping (fee) may also be available in an Adirondack shelter (P, Pr, PT). In either case, contact the Tar Hollow State Park Office at 740-887-4818 for details in advance.
