Batona Trail

[Frolickin]

I hope this is the proper forum in which to ask this.

Does anyone have a track of the entire Batona Trail that could be shared? A TOPO! track would be fine as would most formats. I think I can convert from most.

This reminds me. I have an old map of the trail. I think it was put out in about 1972. The guy on the cover looks so much like me at the time that its scary. I look at it and say, damn, that IS me! I'll dig it out and scan it. It was before the trail was lengthened beyond Batso.

Does anyone else have one that old?

PS: Ben or Guy, suggest this be moved to, what, General Discussions?

Nah, this is appropriate for this forum.

Do you need a track or just a map? If you need a track you can make your own. There is a free program called USAPhotoMaps that you can use to creat your own.

Steve, I'm betting that is a damn hard thing to do for the Batona Trail.

Steve, I'm betting that is a damn hard thing to do for the Batona Trail.Exactly! I was kind of hoping someone may have already done the hard work. :rolleyes:

The track would be best, but if all that one has is an electronic map, that would be a start.

I appreciate it.

The ranger stations at basto and lebanon and I imagine atsion have a foldout type map of the batona trail. It is not real detailed, since the batona trail covers such a large area, but it is accurate. I would think that this map would most likely be available on one of the state forests' web sites. Hope that helps.

Here it is. I'd say 1970 or so.

I think one of these links are incorrect. You only have one part of the map here.

Thanks Guy........fixed.

That's a really nicely drawn map, thanks for posting it! I like it a lot more than the brochure they currently distribute. BTW, was looking at the brochures on a recent visit to the office at Lebanon. They have put little stickers on the maps and plaques on the signs to list Dick Codey as governor. How nice to see our tax dollars at work! :-0

Those are nice maps, Bob. Thanks. I guess I'll just have to walk the entire trail to get a track. There is a track exchange server for TOPO!, but surprisingly, no one has posted the Batona. Mostly North Jersey trails are listed.

Thanks!
