Geocache Description:

Ken Lockwood Gorge, Califon, NJ off the Columbia Trail of the Hunterdon County Parks System.

There are two ways to get to this cache. The easy but long way is to enter the Columbia Trail where a walking stick shield, displayed at the entrance to the trail in High Bridge and at the other entrance to the park in Tewksbury, is available for visitors that complete the seven mile trail. Access the trail in High Bridge on Main Street across from the library or in Tewksbury at Vernoy Road and the South Branch. The trail crosses the South Branch of the Raritan River at Ken Lockwood Gorge where the cache lays behind a rock in a green ammo container. There are small rocks around and limbs on top of the cache. It contains some Disney stuff among other things. The best fun way to get there with little walking (under .25 mile) but requires a little climbing (there is a black nylon rope to help you up), is to enter the road which becomes a dirt road on Raritan River Rd., Califon. Very scenic drive with the South Branch of the Raritan River to your side. Just don't get too close to the edge or you may drive right into the river. Park (N40° 41.853' W74° 52.344') under the defunct Central Jersey train trestle bridge and find the path to ascend your climb up to the old trestle. The GPS bounces all around when you get to the cache area so you may want to use the hints.
