Hi everyone!
Going to do a section soon between Port Clinton and Hawk Mountain Road. Was wondering which end would be the better parking area as far as security and adequate room to park. Thanks!

I'd park at the parking area off Hwy 61 in Port Clinton (the train station and the baseball field are no longer available for AT parking). I parked there for a week last month with no issues.

The Port Clinton parking lot is in plain sight next to a busy highway whereas Hawk Mtn Road is shoulder parking on a rural road that gets very little traffic at night. Nice section, hope you enjoy!

At Hawk Mountain Road (around the corner) there is excellent parking, huge lot with plenty of room: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Appalachian+Trail+Access+%26+Parking+(AT+Trail-head)/@40.626292,-75.9605492,15.21z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x89c5c5b47b791b67:0xdefaaf46 9efa7062!2sHawk+Mountain+Rd,+Pennsylvania!3b1!8m2! 3d40.6350035!4d-75.943865!3m4!1s0x89c5c5ec7585dcd5:0xe084fd43dd867 989!8m2!3d40.6256366!4d-75.9534752
