The SplitRock Splendor ! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: From the Northern Region Office, New Jersey State Parks Department:


Over a year ago New Jersey enacted a policy that all geocachers must obtain a permit to have their cache on State Park property. We have informed all geocaching host that this is their responsibility and have given them ample time to go about getting their permits. At this time, over a year later, there are still several caches that haven’t complied.

We ask that as the land managers for the attached properties we would like to have these illegal caches removed.


Based on the list provided by the state, I am forced to archive this listing. If you have a permit, get a permit or don't believe your cache is on state park/forest land, please contact me via email. Make sure you include the GC code.

If you don't plan to get a permit, please remove your geocache so it doesn't become geo-trash.

Geocache Description:

Cache is placed near the Farny State Park but closer to a large resevoir named SplitRock. Terrain is mainly level but can be a little rocky - therefore hiking boots are recommended. Water and a walking stick (if you have one) can't go wrong here.

This ranks as one of my favorite cache hides.

I discovered this place of tranquility by pure chance, and I knew it 
would be perfect for a cache!

For all those hikers out there, you will enjoy this one... its
has no steep inclines...so it can be hiked by all.

Park your car at: N 40 57.972 W074 27.872
just off Splitrock road. There is no clear area denoting a parking 
but I have seen many hikers park here at this spot that breaks the 
White trail into North and South.

There is a map of the area nearby - see if you can spot it! 
There is a lot of No Trespassing Signs but there is a
conspicuously marked hiking trail here - Go figure! 

Take the White Trail that goes North in the direction of the Splitrock Reservoir. Stay on this trail for most of the way.

It is advisable to take a copy of this cache page 
with you although not mandatory! 
You might want it take notes on the back of it.

Have fun with this one and spend a little longer than usual enjoying the scenery which is ideal for both
 Summer and Winter Geocaching.

PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT THE CHEAT
UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
