Location of Putt’s Camp relative to the gates and the Weaver’s Falls Boat Launch

The two gates that you can access Putt’s Camp and the Terrace Mountain Trail from are Gate 36 at the Weaver’s Falls Entrance and the Lake Raystown Resort Gate inside the resort.

The Putt’s Camp Turn-Off is located exactly 3 miles from both gates. After turning on the road to Putt’s Camp from the Terrace Mountain Trail it is 1/2 mile to the camp.

Putt’s Camp is located on the right about 3 miles north on the river. The mile marker at the Weaver’s Falls Boat Launch is 28 miles. That means you are 28 miles from the dam.
