This is a small size traditional type cache in a newly purchased
extension of Washington's Crossing State Park. The park is located
on George Washington Road off of Goat Hill Road in West Amwell
Township.
The entrance to the park will be on your left after coming from
Goat Hill Road. The newly purchased park is not well marked except
for some small "state park boundry signs right along the road. The
Entrance gate itself is made of wood and surrounded by a bunch of
mailboxes. Drive right up through the gate and to the parking lot
on the left side of the driveway. From there you must follow the
driveway past and around another gate (on foot) and up the hill to
the coordinates listed below for the Washington Rock Trail, where
you will see a well defined trail heading out to the left side of
the driveway. This leads to Washington Rock. The cache is located
nearby. The area was used as a lookout point by General George
Washington and British General Charles Cornwallis to scout for
things such as troop movements. The 213 acre park was purchased
using State Green Acres' Crossroads of the Revolution Initiative
Funds. It was formerly a Boy Scout Camp until 1983 when it was
purchased by a mining company that in turn sold it to the state
just recently (October 2009). After finding the cache, why not
enjoy an even better overlook located all the way at the end of the
driveway at the top of the hill. This is known as Goat Hill
Overlook. It has a spectacular view of the Lambertville and New
Hope, PA area. Enjoy!! Please try and trade world coins if
possible. Other swag that will fit is OK too! PLEASE BE CAREFUL
NEAR THE OVERLOOKS DUE TO STEEP DROPS AND SLIPPERY ROCKS! (TERRAIN
2.5)
This cache is certified Central
Jersey!
