This cache replaces the original Mossy Bank Overlook cache that was muggled.
This cache is located in Mossy Bank Park. It overlooks Bath and the Cohocton River Valley. The overlook can be seen from Rt. 17/I 86. Many people believe that this place offers the “Best views in the Western New York”. Make sure you bring a camera!
The park is open daily from 10am – 10pm. Hunting is allowed from October 16-April 30.
**** PLEASE NOTE-- the gate into the park is closed during hunting season. You can find the cache, but you will have to park at the entrance and walk. It is about a 15 minute walk to the parking coordinates.****
It offers picnicking, a playground, pavilions, snow shoe and hiking trails, hang gliding, a small nature center, and beautiful panoramic views.
BEWARE... there have been reports of a black bear and possibly cubs in these woods.
Directions: Go into the Village of Bath. You will need to locate East or West Morris Street. It runs parallel to Rt 17 and behind Pultney Square Park. From East Morris Street, take a left onto Cameron Street. If you are on West Morris Street, it will be a right onto Cameron Street. Follow the signs for Mossy Bank Park.
(You will need to take a left onto Windfall, then a left onto Mossy Park Road. This will eventually Dead End, and change into a dirt road when you enter the park.)
Once inside the park, follow the one way signs to the parking coordinates.
Park at N 42* 19.364 W 077* 18.835 at the Overlook site.
You are looking for a 21 oz red plastic beverage container that will hold only very small trade items. (Note... On 6/23/07 we replaced the container for the third time and this is it's second location. Therefore, please log all "did not find" visits so that we can closely monitor this cache.)
CAUTION: If you are caching with children, please be careful and keep them close to you. The only guardrails are at the lookout spot and there is a potential vertical drop of several hundred feet.
Enjoy, Be Safe, and Have a Great Day!
