Heron and Turtle Lakes

We placed this cache along these lakes to give cachers a chance to spot wildlife that calls Duke Farms their home and seasonal migrants. Keep an eye out for turtles basking on logs along the lake shore or for herons stalking prey in the shallows. Our resident Bald Eagles are frequently spotted in this area searching for prey so do not forget to look up for wildlife! We hope you enjoy this peaceful and serene part of the property.

The Duke Farm Geocaching Program is an exciting partnership between the Duke Farms Foundation and The Northern New Jersey Cachers, NNJC.org who have partnered and volunteered their time, expertise and assistance to develop and implement the geotrail and continue their Geocaching support.


NNJC is about promoting a quality caching experience in Northern New Jersey.
