There really isn’t a lot of information about the Nyack/Coal Creek area, but I did find a trip report with pictures from a group that did part of their trip in this area. The links Day2 through Day5 are in the Nyack/Coal Creek zone.

Looks like a beautiful enough area to me.

The trail guide that was loaned to me has a pretty good discription of the Nyack/Coal creek loop. One thing that I noted was that the trip will involve several stream fords (5 on Coal Creek alone) so be prepared for some creek wading.

Oh Yea stream crossings. We have a river crossing to start our trip off! But Many western rivers are shallow enough to wade I imagine that is why the trail crosses where it does.

So your saying I won’t have to bring my rubber boat?

The Nyack/Coal Creek trail is nice. The five creek crossings are indeed a hassle when you’re tired and don’t feel like taking off boots and putting them back on. At one creek crossing, my friend tried to throw his shoes across the creek, but one hit a branch, fell into the creek, and started drifting down the creek. My two friends stood there dumbfounded. I frantically started chasing the shoe by running barefoot over the creek rocks, but it was too late–the shoe went too fast down the creek, sank, never to be seen again. Luckily, one of us had an extra pair of shoes for him to wear!
