Dizz-Knee Challenge Part XV
Collect Your
County Cache
This is the fifteenth in a series of
twenty-one caches that will be placed in each of New Jersey’s 21
counties. This one completes the
Atlantic County
requirement. This cache is hidden in the very beautiful
Atlantic County Park at Lake
Lenape in Mays Landing. A certain number of people
completing the Dizz-Knee challenge will be given a new,
commemorative geocaching coin, trackable on geocaching.com,
unactivated, with its own unique icon.
Welcome to Atlantic County Park at Lake
Lenape
This park is located on the western side of Lake Lenape (note that
some land on the eastern side and the entire lake surface is
controlled by the county). The park entrance is located at 6303
Harding Highway in Mays Landing and encompasses nearly two thousand
acres of land, all the way up to the Black Horse Pike (Route
322).
County Cache Facts:
This was the most beautiful day all winter long and it was an
excellent day to place a cache. I can't believe the spot I found to
hide this cache and I was equally surprised that the nearest cache
was like 3/4 of a mile away. There is an awesome playground about
150 feet from ground zero which overlooks the lake. There are many,
many picnic tables and barbeques. Parking is maybe 400 feet away
and very ample. The welcome center, bathrooms and showers are maybe
150 feet away. Basically everything is close to you. Now, for all
those canoe folk and kayakers out there: you can launch your boat,
for free! All you need to do is sign in at the office and have a
PFD. This is a Green Acres area so there is NO admission. There
were many workers milling about getting the park ready. The place
is very well-manicured and just beautiful. One final note: There
are a lot of stickers and lord knows what else at ground zero. I
would think twice before letting any youngsters back there as it
gets a little crazy. Oh yeah, one last thing, the place closes at
dusk so be sure to hightail it out of there before the gates are
locked.
.
The readings I took had a 33 foot degree of accuracy/error. PLEASE
return the cache exactly where you found it. Please do not move it
to a different spot in ground zero; please.
