Description Suggest change

The name of this area from a place name of the Lenni-Lenape earlier native residents of this region, and the names of its sectors are also from the Lenni-Lenape.
It contains these sectors (W to E):


In the print guidebook 2011 edition this area is called "Upper Lenapehoking", and in the Rakkup app it is called "Nechtanc and Friends".

Getting There Suggest change

Two ways:
One is to first go to Basilisk, then walk flat East about 80 feet, then scramble up into the midst of Manayunk, Passyunk, and Scheyichbi sectors.

Or first go to Tower Wall, then walk flat NorthWest past Three Bears and Dave's Wall, then past the Munsee and Ramapaugh boulders to the junction (lat long ~ N41.1453 W74.1667) with the trail which goes up to Good Books Wall. Turn Right onto that trail and hike uphill NE for about 60-75 feet, then about half-way up before reaching the top of the slope, turn Right off the trail for Shawkopoke sector, or Left off the trail to traverse NW to the other sectors.
