The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular
geocache, however, it is also part of the Allegheny GeoTrail (AGT),
a publicly funded project designed to promote a pleasant and
positive experience and image of the Allegheny National Forest
region and its gateway communities. The AGT utilizes the growing
interest in geocaching to assist both residents and visitors to the
area in learning more about the unique attractions in the ten
participating counties. This cache contains a unique self inking
rubber stamp which you should use to stamp your Allegheny GeoTrail
Passport to verify that you found it. When you have found a minimum
of six AGT caches, you will be eligible to have your AGT passport
validated and receive a commemorative AGT trackable geocoin at
participating locations. You must have your official AGT passport
with you when you find this cache in order to stamp it. Click on
the Allegheny GeoTrail Logo below to visit the AGT website at
www.alleghenygeotrail.com for complete details and a listing of
participating locations where you may pick up and validate AGT
passports to receive your souvenir geocoin, trackable at

This cache is placed along the Salmon Creek Trail loop
just outside the Beaver Meadows Recreation Area on the Allegheny
National Forest near Marienville, PA. The recreation area includes
a nice campground, picnic area, a small lake, and several nice
hiking trails that converge near the lake. This is a beautiful spot
to spend some time during your visit to the area. Park in the
recreation area and walk across the dam until you come to the trail
head where several trails intersect. Grab the cache and then take
the Beaver Meadows Loop Trail around the lake if you want a nice
enjoyable hike. You can probably grab this cache in less than an
hour, but why not stay and try out the other trails for an
enjoyable afternoon. The small town of Marienville is about four
miles away and offers all the conveniences of home including your
choice of dining and lodging options if you would like to make your
geocaching trip into a weekend, but aren't up for
camping.
