We hiked part way from Luzerne but it got dark and we could not finish the trail.
Where exactly does the Back Mountain Trail end at its northern end?
For a possible pick-up next time, we tried to find the northern end to see where we would be. We drove around the local area of Lower Demunds Road, where the site says the trail ends, but could not find the trail's terminus.

I hiked this trail with family only two weeks ago. Even on a chilly day, there were others hiking too.
I hiked this route back in the 1960s with my aunt and cousins from Luzerne. That was before it was a formalized trail. We'd say we were hiking to "Wildcat Creek" (that creek/waterfall you see on the right about a mile from Luzerne).
Glad to see the trail is being kept up and has been expanded. Unfortunately, that huge new tank on the left coming from Luzerne sticks out like a sore thumb.

I just got on a bike after a long lay off (8 years) I had a accident earlier this Summer, broken Tibia Platoe and destroyed knee joint, so I chose a mountain bike and easy trails to try and get back in shape, and as therapy, just started walking 3 weeks ago.
The first trail I tried back mountain trail because it was close, nice packed surface, although from the Luzerne side it is a uphill grade.
About a mile in the bridge is out! very disappointing, I had to turn around and head back to the truck. Being that the shape my knee is in, I couldn't carry the bike down the side of the crick bed and up the other side. Anyway I just wanted to give everybody a heads up, they are working on it, there was equipment there.
