Geocache Description:


Nice hike in an urban but rural feeling park in The Bronx. Cross the Rattlesnake Creek and see the falls.

Seton Falls Park is a beautiful wetland, woodland, and bird sanctuary. It derives its name from the waterfalls built in the park by the Seton family. Rattlesnake Creek was so named because of the rattlesnakes that were once there but snake bite kits are no longer needed. Being an urban park, I would only cache it during daylight hours. NYC web page for Seton Falls Park.
