Start at the trail behind the Environmental Education Center. The
flat trails make the walk an extremely easy one, but the flora and
fauna in the area are varied and plentiful, making it an
interesting walk for nature lovers. Watch out for ticks in season
and birders, be sure to bring your binoculars. Several trails lead
to the cache site. At times they turn in the wrong direction, but
they eventually head to the area of the cache. Please resist the
urge to bushwack and stay on the trail until you reach the cache
site.
> Among the contents are a biography of Lord Stirling. Read
it, but please leave it in the cache. The Evironmental Education
Center is an interesting side trip. There is a well stocked library
devoted to environmental issues. as well as a very interesting
display on the geological and human history of the Great Swamp in
the basement.
The Great Swamp is one of the remanants of Lake Passaic, which
was a 30 mile long, 10 mile wide lake that once covered this area.
