    Any problems hanging in Allegheny National Forest?

    Any advice? Anyone hang here before? Regulation problems from rangers?

    I'm going there for a 3-day backpacking trip and I'm hoping that I dont run into any problems...

    Thx!

    My home hanging grounds. I have never had any issues hanging there. The rangers that I've seen were very low key, down to earth. No trouble finding hang spots either. I carry 6 foot tree huggers in the ANF. There are really big trees in places but as I said no issues.
    I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

    Thx. Good to hear! Any suggestions as to good places to hike? I was thinking the johnnycake ridge and north scenic trails loop. Maybe dangle my pole for some brookies, swim, etc. Do you know if the water levels in the creeks/streams are low this summer? It's been dry as a bone near Cleveland...

    Thx

    Minister creek has a nice loop trail and that creek is still running fine. The brook trout population is so low that you cannot keep any if you are lucky enough to find any at all. The Tracy ridge area is nice too. I'm not sure about the water situation up in the north part of the ANF. Also most any section of the North Country trail is nice and usually hits water pretty regular. Salmon creek runs all year and there is a stocked trout stream near that area.
