Directions to Swope’s Sideling Hill Farm
Take
I-70 through Frederick and into Pennsylvania.
Take
Route 522 North, there is a small restaurant which used to be a Tasty Freeze on
the right side of road almost as soon as you get onto 522.
There
will be a green Ford Ranger waiting in the Tasty Freeze parking lot to guide
you the rest of the way.
Continue
north of 522 until reach “town” of Dott which basically is just a sign and a
small store. There is a road which
branches off to left immediately after the Dott sign.
Take
that road (there is a short road that runs next to store that forms third side
of triangle if you miss it).
Make
a left at the end of the road.
Follow
new road to second left (first left is very sharp turn which would take you
back the way you came). The second left
will surprise you as you come over the crest of a hill just before you make the
turn.
Campsite
at Swope’s farm is a left off the road, behind a yellow gate, and is
immediately before you cross a Creek (I think there is a sign identifying it as
Licking Creek, but map seems to indicate it is Tonolowoy Creek). If you miss the turn and cross that creek,
you will first come up on the Swope house on the left and then the farm on the
right, which is were you will also go for water, so turn around!
