Follow the trail until you reach a “sweet spot.” An interpretive booklet available at the trailhead points out natural features along the trail. This easy trail requires less than an hour to complete at a leisurely pace. Be sure to come visit this area again in early spring when the sap flows. You might even get a taste of nature. The cache is in a medium-sized storage container.

When finished geocaching, take a peek into the Montour Environmental Preserve’s Visitors Center/Environmental Education Center. Inside you can view mounted birds of prey, the Lake Chillisquaque fish and wildlife exhibit, local fossils, reptiles of Pennsylvania, a “discovery corner” and local history displays. Look for songbirds at the feeding station outside the observation windows.

Original contents include bookmark, bracelet, bouncy ball, rubber frog, First to Find pin, toy car, hand warmers, luggage tag and travel bug.
