I heard of Table rocks before but had trouble actually finding this place. I don't think it is in Sunbury though...if memory serves me correctly it was closer to Halifax off Route 225 at the top (hairpin turn) of Peters Mountain. If anyone has better directions please post...some beta on this location would be good also. Be nice to know if its even worthwhile.

There is a table rock's north of Harrisburgh on the Appalatian Trail. It's about a 2 mile hike in and not worth the walk. is this the spot you are talking about?

I think he's talking about the Table Rock by Mocanaqua. I'd give you directions, but I haven't been there in a while and can't quite remember myself, so I'd probably just get you lost. However, you can stop in at Top of the Slope on Main St. in Wilkes Barre and they can help you out. They even have a drawn-up routes guide for sale, and I believe the proceeds go to keeping Moc and Table Rock clean and open to climbers.

I've never actually been to Table Rocks but a friend and I did try to find it one day. I beleive we did hike on the Appalacian Trail off Route 225 north of Harrisburg, but after a while we gave up. The only reason I was wondering was because I saw a listing for Table Rocks of Sunbury under the PA climbing sections. I live about 15 minutes from Sunbury and never heard of this before.

I've been to a Table Rocks off 225 . just hike two miles North on the AT and you will come to it. go a little farther and you will hit Fumatory Rock also. neither are worth the hike.
There is rock in Sunbury above the river that is pretty good also.
Hawk rock is near there also.

hey roclimb, did you mean that hawk rock is near table rock or near sunbury? because i didnt want enyone getting confused or for me to be confused myself. the hawk rock that i know is in millersburg, and is know for its awesome frequency of migratory raptors. there are also two bald eagles nesting somewhere in the rocks. if there is a hawk rock near sunbury then i dont know what they call the one by millersburg but i know it looks interesting but not difficult.
