Water Sources on Harriman/Bear Mountain Trails
Agree with Paul_A
The other suggestion I have for you is to take your water only from moving sources, where possible. Some of the lakes in Harriman don't move much and a nasty layer of organics forms on top and clogs intakes on filters, etc.
One final note: I have never heard of viruses (e.g., hep A) in NY waterways, but I use a Steripen that will inactive the viruses. If you aren't using UV, the CDC advises you to take these steps: 1) mechanically filter the water, 2) treat it with a halogen (chlorine or an iodine solution), 3) let it sit 15 to 60 minutes (or per manufacturer instructions), 4) then drinking.
