Sunfish Pond via Red Dot, Tammany Fire Road, Turquoise and Dunnfield Creek Trail

07/29/22

This is my favorite way to hike Worthington. First you get the climb to the scenic vistas along Mount Tammany on the red dot trail (which be forewarned definitely is a climb). Then the fire road to torquise. This admittedly is the one boring stretch of the trail, but is very easy hiking and going this route saves you from a steep decline down from Tammany. Then you get to check out the pond. A bit rocky but pretty views. Finally a nice stream side hike (with a few stream crossings) along the Dunfield Creek trail. This certainly isn’t an easy hike but gorgeous and varied views for most of it. One last word of warning parking lots fill up early on weekends.

This is a great 5.5 mile hike at the Delaware Water Gap. You follow the Appalachian Trail the entire time (white marked trail) as it climbs to the top on Mt Minsi.
