Appalachian Trail

[NY Region 3 Trapper]

Are you able to hunt off of the Appalachian Trail corridor? I don't nor wouldn't hunt literally on the trail but the lands owned by the National Park Service that create the easement.

I would call the Sterling State Forest park office. I know the Appalachian Trail crosses through the northern section of the park and I believe you can use it as an access point.

I hiked the entire Appalachian Trail in 2005 and saw plenty of hunting activity on and around the trail ranging from tree stands, hunters walking on the trail, bait piles etc. One night in November in North Carolina, we had someone's radio collar bear dog come in to our camp and spend the night. Good times.

I know you can't hunt the AT corridor in Sterling (Harriman / Bear Mtn. too). Not sure about other sections.
