Geocache Description:

CACHE DETAILS:

Park Hours: Dawn to Dusk

The cache is on Handy Hall Trail which is a loop so it doesn’t matter which trailhead you use.

PEMBERTON PARK:

Pemberton Historical Park is a gorgeous, 260 acre expanse of nature and wildlife, incredibly located just minutes from Route 50 along Pemberton Drive. Created by the Wicomico County Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism in the 1980’s, the park surrounds Pemberton Hall which is a plantation home built in 1741 and rich in Eastern Shore history.

Appropriately, the park’s mission is to provide a setting that blends together both history and the natural environment. This unique combination makes the park suitable for all types of visitors. Amenities include a nature trail system with 7 unique trails ranging from .2 to 1.1 miles, fresh water ponds with fishing allowed on a catch and release basis, public restrooms, and several picnic areas.

HANDY HALL TRAIL:

A leisurely walk through upland forests, leads to the site of the "old" bald eagle's nest. After nearly a decade on the perimeter of the Pemberton Park's property, development nudged our resident bald eagle to another site. With a spotting scope, you may be able to catch a glimpse of its new home.
