The Griggstown Native Grassland Preserve is in the Stonybrook-Millstone watershed. The trail system in the Griggstown area covers 376 acres, but these trails connect to other trails that transverse the entire length of the 685 acre Ten Mile Run Greenway. The northern border of much of the property is bounded by Simonson Brook, with Coppermine Road as the southern boundary. The site contains both 102 acres of open fields and 583 acres of woodland. Historically the fields were row crops but more recently the property was used as a horse farm.
The Griggstown Geotrail project is an exciting partnership between Franklin Township and The Northern New Jersey Cachers, NNJC.org who have partnered and volunteered their time, expertise and assistance and help develop and implement this geotrail.
The Griggstown Geotrail caches are placed with approval by Franklin Township, no new caches will be allowed at their Griggstown Native Grassland Preserve property without first obtaining written permission by Franklin Township.
The Northern New Jersey Cachers, NNJC is about promoting a quality caching experience in Northern New Jersey. For information on The Northern New Jersey Cachers group you can visit: www.nnjc.org.
