Cache is located in the Nichewaug Tract of the swift river
reservation, which is a property of The Trustees of Reservations.
The Nichewaug Tract includes extensive rocky ledges, a moist
ravine, open fields, a beaver-dammed swamp, vernal pools, riverside
habitat, and forest edges along woods roads.
Parking directions: from intersection of Routes 122 and 32 south of
Petersham center, take South Street 0.9 mi. Turn right onto
Nichewaug Road and proceed 0.6 mi. to entrance and parking (6 cars)
on left. Study the map in the parking area before you start. The
trails are marked with yellow blazes or trustees badges but they
are sometimes hard to follow. There are numbers at the trailheads,
which helps.
I would suggest taking the woods road from the parking lot to the
river and following the trail up to the cache and then back to the
parking area. This will give you a good tour of the stone walls,
old foundations and rock ledges of the area.There is a vista at N42
27.143 w72 10.921,which overlooks the valley.
Cache is in a 9+8+6 plastic container with the usual cache
trinkets.
