Burl Trail Traditional Cache

There are 50 geocaches hidden within 16 state parks and state historic sites in the Saratoga/Capital District region, and geocachers finding them all will be eligible to enter their names in a drawing for valuable prizes.  If you are interested in taking up the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites, or download the passport at www.nysparks.com.
 

Named for the massive knot growing on an equally large tree at the trail head, the burl trail makes a scenic loop around the Kayderosseras Creek.  It is also the location of Gray’s Crossing, and access point to the Kayderosseras.  The burl trail is generously maintained by an eager volunteer group called the Friends of the Kayderosseras.  The FOK works tirelessly to make sure that this charming path can be enjoyed by everyone for many more years. As you follow the path keep your eyes and ears open to experience the abundant wildlife that depends on the Kayderosseras.  Soon you’ll get to the stream bank restoration area and I’m sure any FOK member will tell you that hard work comes with great rewards.
