Geocache Description:

The cache is in an out of the way, little used park. Best approach is via Mountain Ave. in Pequannock. Park at N40.58.252, W74.19.529.

To place the cache, I took the yellow blazed trail, but most finders seem to have taken the blue blazed trail. The orange trail also goes towards the cache, but because it runs along 287, it's not a particularly pleasant walk. No need to bushwack until the last few hundred yards. Check out the remains of a log shelter at N40.58.785, W74.19.392.

There is also a gasline cut that goes in the general direction of the cache. It doesn't save you anything distance-wise, but its an easier, though far less interesting walk.
