trips - Deam Wilderness Bushwack and Lakeside CampingTrip Info
Descriptionthursday night i am going to camp with meangreen and yogisan at the leota trailhead on the knobstone. friday morning i am going to drive to hayes trailhead on the northwest side of the deam, and bushwack to the first nights campsite. it is on the east side of the peninsula, about halfway down. see link for map. saturday i will hike to just beyond, and north of, the mouth of axsom creek. sunday i will hike out to the grubb ridge trailhead. if anyone is hiking in friday night, i suggest you hook up with yogisan. i am going to see him thursday night and show him on the map exactly how to get to the campsite. plus, he has a gps and is very good at finding his way around otherwise, late friday arrivals should park at grubb ridge trailhead and take the grubb ridge to the peninsula trail. go about 20 minutes north on the peninsula trail. you will then see a big drop-off to your right for several minutes (if you look at a topo map, you will see that the trail is right up against the edge of what looks like a steep drop-off). after that drop off ends, there is a wooden erosion bar. that is where you will leave the trail and head downhill in a more or less northerly direction. use the lake off to your right to guide you downhill while staying on the ridge. after a while, it will become obvious that you are heading down a small ridge with a little holler to the left and the lake to the right. this eventually becomes a small peninsula which coyote and i have been referring to as "the thumb". if you want, call me when you get to the trailhead, and i will meet you before you have to go off-trail. my number is 765-461-6500 this is also a good trip for anyone who wants to paddle. all the campsites are on the water HERE ARE THE COORDINATES FOR FRIDAY NIGHT: 39.063821N, 86.369316W FRIDAY NIGHT'S CAMP COORDINATES FOR SATURDAY NIGHT: 39.054218N, 86.339922W SATURDAY NIGHT'S CAMP
