Geocache Description:

This cache is located within the Rogers Fort Hill park in Lowell

The Park got its name indirectly from the Pawtucket tribe of the Pennacook Nation. In 1669, Chief Wannalancit, son of the great Sachem, Passaconaway, established a palisaded fort at the summit of the hill for protection from the Mohawks. The land has forever since been known as Fort Hill.
Rogers Fort Hill Park is situated on a glacial drumlin that rises 190 feet above the city of Lowell, which was established on the river plain created at the confluence of the Concord and Merrimack Rivers in 1820.

Overlooking the Concord River, the Park consists of 34 acres, 11 of which are mowed. The remaining 23 acres are wooded, in various stages of regeneration. The park is viewed by many as two separate parcels, with the Urban Wilderness area leading to the summit as distinct from the mowed areas adjacent to the neighborhood. Before the trees at the summit grew in, it was possible to appreciate magnificent views both of the city below and the mountains of New Hampshire on the horizon.

The forest, which has evolved since the first trees were planted in 1885, is composed primarily of native Oak and Birch. The land surrounding the park is residential and is part of Lowell's Belvidere section, which is noted for its Victorian homes, several of which face the park.

The Cache is a medium size container, it is off the paved path.
