What’s there to do around here that doesn’t involve the Appalachian Trail?

>>2788752outdoors-wiseparks, trails, hills, rivers, dams, tunnels
It's woods you can fixate on the 10 sq meters surrounding you and call it a good time
>>2788760but i want to see off into the distance
>>2788751Your Mom.
>>2788751Almost all of northwest Maine is empty of people and it's filled with waterfalls, old timber trails and lakes. Ocean kayaking pretty fun too

>>2789244There’s so much more to see within a few hour’s drive of baltimore that isn’t baltimore itself.
Go out into any of the mountains and forests that aren't part of the appalachian trail. The trail is just a single path that goes through the region, there are basically endless great outdoor areas that are far away from it. If you're from the west coast or the Boston to DC coastal megacity it can seem like the whole east coast is urban/suburban, but places like northern Maine and the Blue Ridge Mountains are world class /out/
>>2789693Nah theyre pretty standard /out/
>>2788751>What’s there to do around here that doesn’t involve the Appalachian Trail?plenty anon :3
>>2788751part of the north country trail goes through there
>>2789707Have you been on the Pennsylvania segment? I've been thinking about checking it out.
>>2789849Susquehannock trail is pretty but rough trail condition, mid state trail has some gorgeous segments near arnot/sand run/babb creek, and black forest trail is kinda the classic backpacking trail with campsites and periodic overlooks on both sides of pine creek gorge, north country is ok, id recommend it more for mtn biking, aesthetically if ur gonna pick one trail i wouldnt do that, its just less pretty land and flatter on north country vs long distance trails to the east of that in pa
>>2789702Get amongst it.
>>2789693Blue ridge has some areas on the west side of the hills with interesting ecology since it's a rain catcher. Not quite a rain forest but close. But unless you get boners for moss and mushrooms it really isn't that cool compared to pretty much anything out west. I enjoyed it the first time I hiked it. Me and my mom collected a bunch of mosses since she's a botany dork. But I have never really wanted to go back. Meanwhile I'm kicking myself for not taking one last trip to New Mexico right now before the snow started.
>>2789967The Susquehanna River alone has a dozen delightful overlooks along its course and mainstems, to say nothing of its tributaries, some of which form 900 ft deep gorges. Your argument is invalid.
>>2788751thousands of other trails and even more off trail
>>2788751Lots of stuff.
>>2790421such as?
>>2788751The Adirondacks are geologically associated with the Canadian Shield
>>2790490cool
>>2788751Bow hunting black bear at Pipstem in West Virginia. An 18 year old girl has the record right now- 645 lbs of B.ig B.lack B.ear.
boating and diving
>>2790664I went to Pipestem and did the observation tower, which is cool but there's also another overlook at the park called Heritage Point or something like that of the actual river canyon itself, but it's a bit hard to find exactly where it is and where to park so I've not done that one yet.
>>2788868Ah yes my two favorite hobbies, working and being unemployed
>>2788952They literally made an entire movie out of it.

>>2791194I don't like the Smiths.
>>2788751Plenty to do off trailI’m partial to the Chattahooche and Nantahala national forests for dispersed camping purposes
>>2792909do you hike during the day and just find a dispersed spot at night?
>>2788751There's Adirondacks State Park in upstate New York is an absolute outdoors mecca with mountains, trails, hiking, fishing, hunting, and just miles upon miles of wilderness to explore and enjoy.
>>2793980covered in a thicc layer of snow from now till the end of march tho, that's too much for mostkinda the beauty of southern appalachia is being able to escape the snow, even if its cold, much of the time
trails I guess
>>2790956New York is not new england
>>2788833It's not super impressive elevation-wise though. I prefer midstate NH, Vermont, and upstate NY. Proper rugged.
>>2796649What is New England?

>>2797552"New England is a region comprising six states in the Northeastern United States: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont."
>>2797613I thought new york was part of it
>>2798097nope
Thought on VA blue ridge mountains? Im from Hawaii and know nothing about the East Coast except my grandma who lives in PA. It is all ticks and mosquitoes and you literally catch aids if you step foot in it? Otherwise it all look beautiful and tempting to move there and gtfoh
>>2798436(far) southwestern virginia is really nice, shenandoah is meh and the hiking is very rocky
