I'm planning to hike NOBO from Snickers Gap to Harper's Ferry on a weekend hike. I'm confident in water sources between my start and Keys Gap, WV. Aside from what appears to be a sketchy road walk to the country store .3 miles along WV9, are there any water sources past Keys Gap, near or at the campsite above Harper's Ferry (that Google says is there, anyways)? Plan is to campout above HF Saturday night and hike into town to catch the 11:30 Amtrak back into DC.

None that I know of, hiked thru there 3 times this year. I stayed at David Lesser shelter, but my train was in the evening going the other way. If staying at the 4 mile campsite(last legal) buy water at the country store or haul from Lesser. Spring at Lesser is good but quite a hike down and back up a rocky cliff.

Thanks for the input! Did not consider Lesser shelter for resupplying water but totally obvious!
