Patriots' Path stretches from East Hanover where it connects with the Lenape Trail in Essex County to Allamuchy Mountain State Park in Sussex County and the Village of High Bridge in Hunterdon County. Any Morris County cacher worth their salt has been on Patriots Path. It is ubiquitous and traverses some of the most beautiful terrain in the county. However, there are some sections that I would bet that most cachers have never been on, nor even know that they exist.
This is the ninth of a series of caches to highlight these lesser known stretches and give them their due. You can see a listing off all of the caches in the series by clicking on the following link:
Listing of Lost Sections of Patriots Path caches
This section of the Path is not really lost as it is used a lot by the residents of the nearby community. It is the only "classic" part of the Path in this area as the Path follows sidewalks through Cedar Knolls and Whippany. It is a nice little secluded stretch wedged between the Whippany River and the nearby housing. It is named for Maj. Joseph Morris who died in the Revolutionary War. Some more experienced cachers may recognize the hiding spot. There is some bounce in the area, use the hint if required.
Park at the Central Park lot and use either the Eden Lane trailhead or trail can be accessed from S. Jefferson road.
