Patriots' Path stretches from East Hanover where it connects with the Lenape Trail in Essex County to Stephens State Park 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 13th 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
Cache is located on a section of Patriots Path that skirts the Whippany River in a swampy area. This is not a well-maintained section of the path so come prepared. Cache itself is located in a high spot but depending on the time of year you can walk right up to it or you may need hip waders. If you stop and enjoy the area, you will notice a lot of wildlife.
