Foul Rift Observation Deck

This lies along the Tekening Trail system in Lower Mt. Bethel, PA. Late last year LMB Twp took over these trails from PPL. Since that time a huge amount of trees have been taken down and areas adjacent to the trails have been ripped up by heavy machinery. Used to be a really nice trail system, not very nice at all right now. Cannot imagine what the ultimate goal of the destruction is, but it sure makes for lousy hiking!

Roughly 2 mile hike in from Martins Creek Management Area. It would be a lot shorter from the power plant hiking trail entrance, but there is logging going on that has closed some of the trail access. I took the blue trail which was easy hike...pretty flat. I had to go up on the logging trails as loggers had pushed trees and debris over the blue trail.

The view from the platform is good directly across and downstream. To scout further up you have to make your way down to the river.

Overall fun and easy hike with nice river views.
