This cache, as the name suggests, is roughly half way to Huckleberry Point. The trail is well maintained, but a bit rocky. It’s an enjoyable hike, little over a mile.
If you have time, I would highly recommend following the trail to the overlook. Other than amazing views, you can pick up another cache.
The trail is not posted at the trailhead, but you can locate it on the map. Take the blue blazed trail (part of the Long Path) from the parking area on Platte Clove Rd. After about 3/4 mile it reaches a junction with the yellow blazed Huckleberry Point trail. Follow the yellow blaze. The trail will lead you down a narrow path through the forest and across a shallow stream.
Parking for the trailhead is off of Platte Clove Road. N 42 08.031; W 074 04.912
NOTE: The section of road between the trailhead parking and West Saugerties is closed in the winter so you will have to approach this from the west during the winter months. In winter, take Route 23A. Make a left on Bloomer Rd. Bear left onto Platte Clove Rd.(County Rt. 16) Parking area will be on left.
You are looking for a small lock-n-lock.
