Go for a hike on the Foxs
| Path, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Susquehanna River. Middle Creek Dam is a site that is close to Refreshing Mountain Camp, and wonderful hiking is available along the Northkill Path. If you're here at Refreshing Mountain Camp, you could pop by Elders Run; you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Blue Marsh since you're here. And that's not all you can do here at Refreshing Mountain Camp. An afternoon playing golf at Foxchase Golf Club is always a pleasure, and Locust Lake State Park is a great place to go.
Whitewater paddling | |

is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Muddy Creek - Susquehanna Tributary, and a scenic lake like Middle Creek Reservoir is a wonderful place to have a look at. This campground has so much. There are some great whitewater spots on Fishing Creek - Susquehanna
Tributary; close by you locate the Blue Blazed Trail which is a good hiking trail. Lots of fun is at this campground. During your trip to Refreshing Mountain Camp you'll meet some folks from Newmanstown for sure, and going for a hike on the Werts Path is always a great adventure.
That right there is plenty already, but it carries on; Refreshing Mountain Camp has it all. Tuscarora State Park is worth a visit if you're at Refreshing Mountain Camp. Refreshing Mountain Camp gets a lot of water; during July this area sees the most rain, and February is the month
with the least moisture. For you golfers we recommend nearby West View Golf Course, and there's good hiking along the Klines Path.
