About this event

Join the Hoboken Ski & Snowboard Club for hike on the Sunfish Pond Loop in the Delaware Water Gap!

Sunfish Pond Loop is a 4.1 mile loop with an elevation gain of 1,181 ft. It is a moderate hike, with switchbacks at the steeper parts, and after a relatively direct ascent, there is a gradual loop around the lake, before descending. We will be back in the lot in about 2.5 hours. After the hike there is an option to visit a swimming beach (Turtle Beach) on the Delaware 2.5 miles away.

Contact: Sean Hightower. seanhtower@yahoo.com. There is no cost, but RSVP so we can get a headcount and add your contact info for updates.

Google Maps: 134 Old Mine Rd., Columbia, NJ 07832 (Douglas Parking lot on the left).

For those interested, join us for casual food and drinks after the hike just a few miles away on the bank of the Delaware River. Hikers can go straight there, or head to Turtle Beach first for a dip before the brewery. (There is no swimming in Sunfish Pond)
