Clarks Ferry
I stayed here on 4/20 after getting a late start out of Duncannon. The shelter is good with a picnic table and privey. No problems with rodents.
Needs Work
The Shelter Needs Repairs - Broken Roof Beams
And A Broom - I Couldn't Sweep All The Spiders And Mud Wasp Nests.
I Hammocked Near The Trail.
The Train And Interstate Noise Lasted All Night.
When the Trail calls you,
its not on your cellphone!
Clarks Ferry
I'll always remember the Clarks Ferry shelter. During my 2001 thru, I had flip-floped and my hike ended in Duncannon. I spent my last night, in a shelter, on the AT there. It was Oct 12 and I spent it alone.

Stopped for lunch 5/18 small SH but fantastic birds!!!!!!!!!!!!! saw a scarlet Tanager and indigo buntings here. fantastic!
Roof has a small break at the front I doubt it would leak in to the SH. Spring was running

1/23/2010 Spring is Running strong
Great day hike up from Clarks Ferry Bridge to the Clarks Ferry Shelter. The Spring was running strong & clear. Nice break at shelter (sorry, no pic).
Recent update, Sept 5th, 2010: There is no water flowing from the pipe at all. However, there is a small pool of water that has seeped out and made it to the surface...if you have a pump/filter or a small cup to dip and strain, you'll be okay. Guess we need some rain up here...
Any updates on this shelter?
