The Pteridophyta Traditional Cache

Pre Form tube with in 100 feet of trail head located at parking area near Newton-Sparta Rd.

I am anticipating difficulty with this hide and have rated it appropriately. Hints are always available upon request but some are hidden here as well. Hope you enjoy the trail as much as the caches!

Congrats goes to The Penny's for the FTF!!!!!

Glacial lakes, limestone outcroppings, former railroads, and a small airport are features of Kittatinny Valley State Park. Lake Aeroflex and Gardner’s Pond form part of the headwaters of the Pequest River and are excellent for fishing and boating. This scenic property is home to a variety of wildlife such as whitetail deer, wild turkey, a variety of songbirds, beaver, muskrats, and squirrels.

Hunting, hiking, mountain biking, birding, and horseback riding are popular activities. The four lakes offer fishing, boating, and kayaking opportunities.

The Paulinskill Valley Trail and the Sussex Branch Trail are former railroads that have been converted for use as multiple use trails. Both railroads were critical to the development of Sussex County through the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The wide cinder surface is ideal for walking, running, mountain biking, and horseback riding. When snow conditions are abundant, these trails provide and excellent opportunity for cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.

Kittatinny Valley State Park and rail trails are open during daylight hours only. The Lake Aeroflex boat ramp is open 24 hours for fishing from boats.

Cache is located in a section of the park where hunting is permitted. Please wear orange during hunting season.
