Geocache Description:

This cache is located along the bank of the Assunpink Creek, a quiet fishing hole in Robbinsville, New Jersey. A defined trail leads to the short walk to the water; however, long pants are recommend for potential brush and overgrowth.  


    The entrance to the site is located on the south bound side of route 130 and is marked by a sign (similar to the size of a speed limit sign) reading "Assunpink Creek Access".  The gravel entrance is located directly before a pull off on the highway and may be easily overlooked.  There are no designated parking spots, so simply pull your car into the site and park on the millings. 

 

    Formally an unruly area ruled by weeds and overgrowth, the site was rehabilitated by Brigid Tonry for her Girl Scout Gold Award Project, completed in the summer of 2013.  Native plants and benches line the wall to the left of the site as you pull in.  The path down to the water is marked by a yellow "No Littering" sign on a nearby tree.  Warning: The slope is initially steep, so use caution when descending to the water.  Along the creek grows a lot of brush and vines, so the path along the water may be hard to distinguish.   Long pants are recommend for this reason. 

 

    The plastic cache container is approximately six inches long and covered in camouflage duct tape.
