Cooch-Dayett Mills was constructed in 1838 by William Cooch, Jr. as
a grist mill to grind wheat and corn into flour. It was operated by
waterpower until 1884. A dam was constructed upstream on the
Christina River above Cooches Bridge on Old Baltimore Pike. A 0.8
mile long mill race was dug to supply the mill that was located
south of Old Baltimore Pike.
The cache can only be reached from the north since there is no
access from the southern portion of Old Cooches Bridge Road. You
must use the parking coordinates. (N 39° 38.861 W 075°

From there you can take a fishing trail that follows the River
and passes under I-95. Then take the high ground to avoid the
swampy area. The dam is slightly further downstream.
