Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Al's Trail Series!



This is a series of caches along Al's Trail in Newtown, CT.

Al's Trail is 10.7 mile trail through a greenway in Newtown that winds its way through a state forest, a state park, town forests, town open space and private property. Along the way one can see eagle roosting areas, a family-owned vineyard, abandoned gold and feldspar mines, steep rock cliffs, and one of Connecticut's best trout streams. The trail is divided in seven sections (between orange bars):

  1. Upper Paugussett
  2. McLaughlin Vineyards
  3. Black Bridge Road
  4. Rocky Glen
  5. Dayton Road
  6. Pootatuck River
  7. Deep Brook

This cache is on the Black Bridge Road segment and is actually located on the Knott's Memorial Trail Preserve which is a Newtown Forest Assocation property. See waypoints for the best parking (see Blue Box #6). You need to bring your own pen.
