Welcome to the Ice Age Trail in Roxbury Township, NJ. This is Roxbury's newest trail, having been officially been dedicated on May 31, 2014. The trail is located across from 12 Orben Drive, Landing. The trail encompasses a 1.5 mile hike with some steep areas, trekking up and down the hillside. Beautiful views from the ridge line, overlooking Mt. Arlington and Landing. On a clear day, Allamuchy Mountain can also be seen to the northwest! The park can be a natural habitat for viewing birds, such as Pileated Woodpecker and Scarlet Tanager. Be sure to wear appropriate footwear, such as sneakers or hiking boots, and bring a bottle of water.
This series of 6 family friendly caches have been placed with the permission of the Roxbury Township Department of Recreation. This cache was also placed in the spirit of the N.J. Dept. of Environmental Protection's geocaching policy, which means the geocache can be found within 5 feet of the new Ice Age Trail, with one exception. This trail is appropriate for children ages 8 and up who enjoy a challenge. I wanted to include some history of the local towns, and attractions that make this part of New Jersey special.
Landing is a small settlement and unincorporated community located within Roxbury Township, New Jersey, on the south shore of Lake Hopatcong near Hopatcong State Park. Notable former Landing resident is Karen Ann Quinlan, an important figure in the history of the right to die debate in United States
You are looking for a small camouflaged Tupperware container. Parking is available in a small gravel lot that can hold 3-4 vehicles. As always, please replace the cache in the exact same manner in which it was found. Dogs are allowed, but must remain on the leash. Wearing orange is recommended. Hunting is allowed during season per State regulation. Be mindful of the environment, always be careful, but have fun!!!
Congratulations to kenvilguy and Lynzmeister on the co-FTF. Glad you both enjoyed the hike!
