Geocache Description:


DCR PERMIT: HG01

Located in the Hemlock Gorge Reservation, Echo Bridge was built to carry the Sudbury Aqueduct over the Charles River from Newton Upper Falls to Needham, Massachusetts. The aqueduct was constructed to carry water from the Sudbury River to Boston. Construction of Echo Bridge began in 1875 and was completed in 1877 by Boston Water Works (BWW), predecessor to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority. At the time, it was the second longest masonry arch in the country. The bridge was named an American Water Landmark in 1981.

This location was a favorite of mines when I was a kid, and I want to share with the rest of the caching community. I would come here just to hear my echo, and also throw out a line or two with my father.

Please park in the public parking located by the stop sign at the end of Ellis St. and walk to GZ site.

CC is a medium pretzel container, filled with trinkets for the kids, cool swag, as well some useful hiking and everyday objects.
