Geocache Description:

This is Zoar Valley Series 14 of 12 haha



Cache Details
Not so quick park & hike in Zoar Valley - Team Broughton style. I really want to see who can find this one..... bring it on boys and gals! PLEASE place it back EXACTLY as you found it. No part of it should be exposed - thank you! This is a swag free cache, it is all about the hike to an excellent location.

Park Hours & Information
This cache is located in the Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area. The MUA hours are sunrise to sunset and are strictly enforced by DEC Rangers.

The area going to the location in all directions (from the top or the bottom) IS very dangerous - be careful by the cliff edge, you slip you die! Use common sense and good judgment and all will be well.

The Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area is a NYS DEC controlled 2,923 acre area located in Erie and Cattaraugus Counties and which adjoins the Cattaraugus Creek in an area featuring a canyon with steep walls. This Multiple Use Area was purchased under the 1960 Multiple Use Bond Act (1,498 acres), with additional land (1,425 acres) deeded by Herbert F. Darling. Along with the canyon or gorge associated with Cattaraugus Creek the area features natural forests, small areas of plantations and an experimental chestnut plantation.

Tips & Suggestions
Make sure you bring plenty of water, some extra batteries and some common sense for the hike in. Grab your hiking stick and enjoy a great hike to a GREAT location. Bring your camera for sure, you will find several very scenic locations from all directions to the cache. Not giving a parking location, you figure it out! Three ways getting to this one, hard (creek walk and ford), harder (300' climb down a ridge), or via canoe - getting back is another story - hard (creek walk and ford), EXTREMELY HARD (300' climb up a ridge) or canoe out to Gowanda. This cache is not for the faint of heart! BE CAREFUKL FRIENDS!
