The Tuscarora Trail is challenging, the SCENERY IS MAGNIFICENT
and it's a beautiful natural setting. Several caches have been
placed along this trail in the Berkeley and Morgan County area.
The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) maintains the trail
and has done and amazing job over the past several years totally
revitalizing this trail. Many thanks for the thousands of hours of
volunteer work that has enabled us to enjoy this beautiful and
natural area. You will find parking along the trail at 4 different
locations.
• Spruce Pine Hollow Park • Devil’s Nose Parking
area • Eagle’s Nest Parking area • Sleepy Creek
Lake Parking
This cache is located closest to Eagle’s Nest Parking
area. Eagle’s Nest Parking can be accessed by turning off
Mountain Lake Road into Sleepy Hollow Subdivision. You will be
Audubon Road . Stay on Audubon Road until it ends at the Sleepy
Creek WMA Third Trail Access Parking area. (2.9 Miles)
The trail consists of painted BLUE blazes on trees. Two (2)
blazes means a turn! Watch very carefully as you hiking, and
don't miss the double blue blazes. Several times I was just
"hiking" and not paying attention and found myself having to
backtrack to find where I had missed the turn.
Parking at the Parking Coordinates noted below you can hike the
Tuscarora Trail North towards Devil’s Nose and then on to
Spruce Pine Hollow Park or South towards Sleepy Creek Lake.
This cache : Located less than 100 ft from the parking
area. The Tuscarora Trail actually crosses the parking area. I
waypoint averaged 3 times trying my best to get good cords, but the
tree cover could cause problems here. I’ll give a hint a
assure a find.
