mm 7.3 - Looking south at Gathland State Park in Crampton Gap. The southbound AT crosses the grassy area and ascends the park road on the other side of Gapland Road. One corner of the large parking lot for the picnic area is seen on the left. Also on the left is the War Correspondents Arch. Crampton Gap was the scene of some heavy fighting during the Battle of South Mountain during the Civil War (1862). Courtesy dlcul@conncoll.edu

View of A.T. path, marked with an added red line, from the crosswalk in Gathland State Park. Note white blazes on tree with sign, and on fence around the ruins of the barn. The wheel-chair spots on the North Parking Lot are on the right. Courtesy maltesecross@comcast.net
