I'm going to be hiking from Wawayanda south to the Mohican Outdoor Center in a couple of weeks.
It seems that water could be an issue thru this section. We are only covering 10-12 miles per day. Water seems to be available at/near the shelters.
I would like to carry 2 liters, but I'm a heavy drinker (water and otherwise). I will slake my thirst from just about any source (treated of course) while others in my group are more particular.
The northern most section (pochuk to unionville) recommends avoiding all water sources as they are heavily polluted. What other options are there in this section?
In the more southern sections will there be sufficient sources of water? At the higher points, along the ridge (south of rutherford shelter) the maps/guidebook don't indicate many water possibilities regardless of quality.
Any input on this?
