Lovingston Spring Trail – Hog Camp Gap to Seely Woodworth Shelter – Appalachian Trail

My better half joins me out for a section hike to pick up some Appalachian Trail that I missed last time I was out this way. We also looked for the swing at Hog Camp Gap. Unfortunately, the swing appears to have gone missing… This is an easy loop on the Appalachian Trail from Hog Camp Gap to the Seely Woodworth Shelter (7.7 miles) and then return via a loop on the Lovingston Spring Trail (6.4 miles). The Lovingston Spring trail (2.7 miles) is a shortcut to the Seely Woodworth Shelter with a few springs along the way (Lovingston Spring and Twin Springs). There is a tricky turn when heading North on the Lovingston Spring trail near an old hunter camper – don’t miss the left turn immediately after the camper and accidentally stay on the forest road.
