Geocache Description:

IMPORTANT! Please be careful when searching this area as there may be snakes, possibly timber rattlesnakes! Snakes are most active between April and October. Please plan accordingly.

Welcome to the Mount Holly Marsh Preserve, a 900 acre natural area along the rocky slopes of South Mountain. The preserve contains 200 acres of marshland and 700 acres of upland forest. Popular activities at the preserve include 7 miles of hiking trails, fishing on Mountain Creek and hunting in the upland areas.

Not far from the Geocache site was the location of the Mt. Holly Park, a once popular summer resort. Constructed in the in the early 20th century by the Carlisle and Mt. Holly Railway, the park encompassed much of the Mt. Holly Gap and extended into the preserve where a dam on Mountain Creek had created a lake. The railway company transported visitors to the park on a trolley route known as the “Trolley to Holly”. The park hosted activities including boating, hiking, ball fields, concerts, dances, bowling, and even a roller coaster!

SOUTH MOUNTAIN GEOTRAIL

The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular geocache. However, it is also part of the South Mountain GeoTrail (SMGeoTrail), a project funded by both public and private funds that is designed to educate residents and visitors about agricultural, heritage, and natural sites within the South Mountain Region. The SMGeoTrail utilizes the growing interest in geocaching to connect an increasingly tech savvy public to the natural assets of the South Mountain Region. This cache contains a unique self-inking rubber stamp, which you should use to stamp your SMGeoTrail Passport to verify that you found it. After logging a minimum of 30 caches, you are eligible for a one-of-a-kind GeoCoin. Click on the South Mountain GeoTrail Logo below for more information.
