Geocache Description:

French Louie's Cache is about a half a mile off the Northville-Placid Trail near Cedar Lake. The undergrowth can be thick at times, but finding his cave is a great accomplishment.

French Louie was a trapper in the Adirondacks in the mid 1800's. He ran away from home when he was ten and lived off the land. This cache is placed at one of the caves that he stayed at in the woods. He was a fantastic trapper. It was said that in one season he caught 255 pine martins and sold them at the nearby town of Pesico.

The cave is dark so bring a flashlight (though on a sunny day, you shouldn't need it to find the cache). Enjoy scrambling on the nearby rock and boulder formations as well.

The cache is 10+ miles away from any trailhead, so make sure to plan to stay the night at the nearby lean-to or campsite. Don't go without a map!
