Rocky and Lone via Fisherman’s Path Trailhead

Large but popular, busy lot.

Google Maps Location: 41.964913, -74.452577

The map below shows the exact topographic location of the trailhead

Cell Service

Non-existent below the ridge line but both summits had good LTE signals. I was able to get texts out. Surprisingly, the northwest slope of Lone also had 3G for a fair while below the summit. My network is Verizon. YMMV.

I did this solo hike in September, hiking up Table and folowing the water divide line (NY/NJ TC map) to Lone. From Lone I went a little west of the divide, that was a mistake. I got tangled up in the balsams. I was later informed that an easier route is east of the divide to Rocky I spent the night on Rocky and bushwacked down to Fishermans path down between the drainages. The Fisherman’s path seemed to switch sides of the river. It was a long hike out, but there were at least two beautiful swimming holes back there.

Very cool to overnight in there. That is some remote sleeping! // Yes, I did a bunch of back and forth on the banks of the Neversink. Looking forward to revisiting.

Any advice on where to camp on a 2-day trip through Neversink to Lone, Table and back out on the loop?

There are lots of unofficial campsites along the western end of the Fisherman’s Path. Some look like they are not far enough from the water’s edge, so try to find one that is and follow the 150’ rule.
