Geocache Description:


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 .





The Seneca Point Overlook is located a short distance from the parking lot (41 19.313N x 79 12.703W) at the end of Fire Tower Road in Cook Forest State Park. Please be sure to wear sturdy hiking boots. Large slippery rocks in the area can be a challenge. The Seneca Point Overlook is named after the Seneca Indians who lived here long before the first settlers moved into the area in the early 1820's. Be sure to keep your eyes open for petroglyphs and mortars (Indian mills-small bowl shaped depressions on the top of the large rocks) which are scattered throughout the area. The most prominent feature from Seneca Point is the Clarion River. The Clarion River has a diverse history starting with the American Indians and French fur traders to the large log rafts and flat bottom boats of the lumber era. Today, the Clarion River is not only an exceptional recreation area, but has also been designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. Keep your eyes open for bald eagles and ospreys while you're here.
