camping backpack size guide image
Dido
I am taking my puppy out for the first time camping for about 5 hours. We are going on a trail and I am just wondering how much water and food to take. Should I also take a blanket and I am also really scared if she steps on something sharp. Is there anyway I can protect her little paws? If not, is there such thing as a dog first aid kit? And what if she starts bleeding? What should I do? I am not carrying her cause she hates being carried. Thanks!
Answer
Bring some water and some food. Don't worry about their paws, just bring a Canine first aid kit and a Canine first aid guide with you. If you can and she will let you get her a backpack for her breeds size and let her carry her food and water in it.
If you are really concerned about paws, they make hiking boots for dogs. Any pet store should carry them. But just beaware of where she is at all times and everything should be okay. I take my dogs hiking all the time.
Oh yes, make sure she has all her vaccinations to be on the safe side.

Can you give me information on camping at Cherry Springs State Park?

Here's the deal...my boyfriend and I are planning a camping trip to Cherry Springs State Park for the summer. We'd like to stay for 3 days to a week, depending on what we can afford. The main activities we'd like to do are hike, swim, fish, and star gaze. We would be using a tent. We're teenagers (18 & 19) and know nothing about any passes/permits we may need and how/where to purchase them. For some reason I'm having a really hard time finding pricing information on the web...along with that maps of the different camping sites so I can decide which would be best for us based on what we want to do. Can you help? Anything you know from experience or links would be really appreciated!
Answer
Cherry Springs State Park, Pennsylvania. The park is only 48 acres in size. You may want to spend more of your time in Susquehannock State Forest and go backpacking on the Susquehannock Trail.
I agree with you that detailed information about camping at Cherry Springs State Park is limited on the web-site. However, I think that you will learn a lot if you buy a guide to the Susquehannock Trail.
You will not have showers or flush toilets at Cherry Springs, so dispersed camping on the Susquehannock Trail will be about as developed as designated campsites.
-------------------
The DCNR recommends that people planning to hike the whole Susquehannock Trail System plan for at least a week. While primitive camping and campfires are allowed on almost all state forest land, the Susquehannock Trail System itself has no designated camping areas or shelters.
The Susquehannock Trail Club also publishes a guide to and map of the Susquehannock Trail System, and offers an award for hiking the entire 85-mile trail.

Susquehannock State Forest
Find deep silence in the stateâs largest roadless area.
North-central Pennsylvania is a world away from Pittsburgh and Philly: Itâs home to the stateâs largest roadless area and darkest skies. Itâs perfect then, that the Susquehannock Trail System, an 85-mile loop, is right in the middle of its deepest reaches. Start from East Fork Road, near the hamlet of Cross Fork and hike five miles to The Pool, a deep 30-foot diameter pond (a local astronomy groupâs favorite tent site). Camp, or continue three miles gaining 1,100 feet to a plateau covered in mountain laurel. Then drop 800 feet to the waters of Cross Forks. Keep your ears alert for the slap of beaver tails in dammed areas. Shuttle, retrace your steps, or finish the whole circuit to join the 1,000-plus strong Circuit Hiker Club.
