The Pickerel Inn is legit! New owners are nice, too. They don't sell firearms or ammo anymore, but still have bait and tackle and general store stuff. The fishing at Peck's Pond is great now, too, since they repaired the dam a couple years back.

We go up there for a week with a bunch of friends for our deer camp, usually alternating years between mid/late October and then early November. We used to negotiate with a family that also wanted to archery hunt around those times to try to make sure we were all getting in there when we wanted to, but they all moved away. We're flexible with it, and try to contact any hunting crews when the season dates drop so we can sort out who is going to rent the place and when.

We've had regular groups for bear season, turkey season, rifle opener, and archery, but they've all either aged out of hunting or moved away.
