Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is located near Marilla Resevoir off Marilla Springs
Trail. This is a great trail for hiking, snowshoeing, and of course
geocaching! There are few other caches in this area you may want to
hike to while you are here! There is parking available off West
Washington Street. You can hike two different trails to get to the
cache! You decide which way you would like to go! Please have fun
and be respectful of the area.
The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular
geocache, however, it is also part of the Allegheny GeoTrail (AGT),
a publicly funded project designed to promote a pleasant and
positive experience and image of the Allegheny National Forest
region and its gateway communities. The AGT utilizes the growing
interest in geocaching to assist both residents and visitors to the
area in learning more about the unique attractions in the ten
participating counties. This cache contains a unique self inking
rubber stamp which you should use to stamp your Allegheny GeoTrail
Passport to verify that you found it. When you have found a minimum
of six AGT caches, you will be eligible to have your AGT passport
validated and receive a commemorative AGT trackable geocoin at
participating locations. You must have your official AGT passport
with you when you find this cache in order to stamp it. Click on
the Allegheny GeoTrail Logo below to visit the AGT website at
www.alleghenygeotrail.com for complete details and a listing of
participating locations where you may pick up and validate AGT
passports to receive your souvenir geocoin, trackable at
www.geocaching.com .
Marilla Resevoir is located along Rt. 346 just west of
Bradford. It was first constructed in 1898. On the Marilla Bridges
Trail, completed in 2005, there is a covered bridge which spans the
spillway of the Marilla Reservoir, three wooden trestle bridges,
and a gazebo located at the southwest corner of the trail. This
trail is a one mile loop of crushed limestone surface. It connects
to the more difficult 3.5 mile Marilla Springs Trail which the
cache is located on along with many other caches. This is also a
favorite fishing location, however, you will notice that it is
currently being renovated. Please, don't let this stop you from
coming and enjoying the trails, having a picnic, or just taking in
the scenery. Thanks to the Tuna Valley Trail Association for their
hard work in this area and to the Bradford Water Authority for
allowing this cache placement.
