The Appalachian Trail passes through the Gulf. Return to top to view other hikes . Caution should be exercised. There is a flagging tape trail through the woods. The beginning of the trail is somewhat wet and then becomes very steep and strenuous, although not a technical climb.
Footing can be somewhat difficult on steep portions due to loose shale rock.
At the first fork in the road, take the left fork to Spencer Pond Camps. 2.1 miles from the corner, take the road on the right. This road will take you along the east shore of Spencer Pond. There is a book at the summit of the mountain to sign. Return to top to view other hikes . . .
