Geocache Description:

This small ammo box has several small trade items and should be fun for kids. It's off the beaten path in Orenaug Park in Woodbury. First to Find wins a $5 Subway gift card. Good luck!

Orenaug Park, deeded to the town in 1892 by Susan B. Shove, features a simple trail system providing visitors with a mixture of woodlands, rocky ledges, ponds, and overviews.

At the trail's peak is a fire tower that offers views of the surrounding area. When the hawks are soaring, it is a great spot to see them in flight and to try to grab a photo or two.

(Notes: There are steep (single file) stairs that lead up to an enclosed observation deck. Perhaps five people can fit comfortably up top.)

There are two ways to access Orenaug Park - from Town Hall complex at the intersection of Routes 6 and 317 and from Park Road. The quickest access to this cache is from the Town Hall Complex.

The hike is steep and winds three times if you go the long way. If you catch the short cut, it's a bit of work but it bring you out between the fire tower and the cache.
