The trailhead is along Circuit Street. Parking is possible
here, but not recommended. Better to park at the ballfield
further north, and walk back. Look for the small sign
pictured at right. The trail takes you beyond residential
property bordering the street, and into Hanover Conservation Land.
A wooden footbridge crosses French Stream near the confluence
with the Drinkwater River. A short bushwhack off trail will
be necessary as you approach the head of the pond. The cache
is a challenging hide, since muggles have proven to be a problem
with former caches in this vicinity. |

The two streams that feed the pond, and the pond itself, are
having troubled times, with high amounts of dissolved metals and
other chemical pollutants resulting from the old industries, and
runoff from adjacent towns further north. Click the following
