Wanaque Overlook Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.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:

On a cliff overlooking the Wanaque Reservoir

This is a tupperware container containg the usual trinkets. Located in Norvin Green State Forest off the Carris Trail. The cache is in a crevice on a rock out-cropping of an ESE facing cliff. Parking is on Gelwilde Ave. at "Otter Hole" or at Weiss Ecology Center. Cache seekers are advised to use NY/NJ Trail Conference map "North Jersey Trails Map #21". A compass may help. Make sure to account for 12.5 degrees of declination.

This trail is one of the most scenic and challenging in the Park - especially if approaching from the SE off the "Lower" white trail. Careful - steep terrain, loose footing. DO NOT attempt to approach this cache in wet conditions!
