Geocache Description:

Cache Location: Horse Pond Mountain Trail (White Blaze), Long Pond Ironworks State Park

Cache Type: Lock & Lock


Cache is hidden along the moderately difficult Stonetown Circular Trail with total distance of 9.6 miles and elevation gain of 2370 ft. The eastern part of the trail takes you over the rugged summits of Windbeam, Bear and Board Mountains. From the top of the summits you get views of the Wanaque and Monksville Reservoirs, the Wyanokies, and Ringwood State Park. The western section of the Stonetown Trail takes you over Harrison Mt and the famous Tory Rocks. This is the area the Tory Soldiers used as hideouts during the American Revolutionary War. After passing the Tory Rocks you come to Signal Rocks were you get views of Windbeam Mt.

Closest available parking for this cache is at Lake Riconda Drive. Access to the Stonetown Circular Trail is possible here via the Horse Pond Mountain Trail (White Blaze). The cache is placed just below a local high point which affords a panorama view of nearly the entire Stonetown Circular: Harrison Mountain, Tory Rocks, Signal Rock, Little Windbeam, Windbeam Mountain, Bear Mountain, and Board Mountain. On the top clearing one can spot turkey vultures and wild turkeys.
