I live in Preston County and get out as much as I can. My usual places are Quebec Run wild area in PA, Dolly Sods, Otter Creek, Laurel Fork and Seneca Creek. I sometimes head to Cranberry or Canaan Mtn. Our state has some awesome places to hang! I don't mind solo trips, but, I am always looking for backpacking partners. I am retired, so have plenty of options on days that I can go. I enjoy smaller group hangs.
Western VA and Maryland are pretty close. I have never backpacked in OH, so have no idea about where to go there.
Camping and parks have become so popular, especially in the high population East coast, that most of the more popular parks within an easy drive are insanely crowded on the weekends/holidays. Only retirees get the parks to themselves anymore! For example, Acadia National Park is imposssible to enjoy in solitude anymore. The National Park Service should give out timed tickets via lottery to make it less crowded, like it is done out west in places like Yosemite and the Wonderland trail...Just my $.02
Just posted an interest thread: https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...31#post1864131
We are planning our 2nd annual women's hang in central MA if anyone is interested!

Darn, that’s too far for me. Good luck and have fun

"Each of us has an Up North. It's a time and a place far from the here and now. It's a map on the wall, a dream in the making, a tugging at one's soul. For those who feel the tug, who make the dream happen, who put the map in the packsack and go, the world is never quite the same." Sam Cook, Up North 1986
My friend and I are constantly looking for places to Hammock camp from down here in Bowling Green, KY. She is doing the Sheltowee Trace challenge again this year and uses her hammock.
We even come with Turtle dog stands just to make sure we don't run into problems with no Trees, or not allowed to Hang.
We might be able to swing something in PA.
I have converted a few people. I have 1 friend in Michigan looking to gear up and another in Toledo Ohio.
We know some places on the east side of Ky and TN and did you know there are 2 campgrounds in Birmingham AL that are great to hang in?
Glad to see women enjoying Hammocks.
Keeping an eye on this thread...I am always interested in an excuse to get out and hang! Typically depends on whether I can get off work for the weekend or not.
Hi everyone - New hanger here, was able to get out with a gf in mid-October for 3 nights. Would be down for finding a group to hang with again. Camping has been a great way to get away from stresses of pandemic, election year madness. If anyone else is game, let's connect!
