Geocache Description:


This is one of 11 new caches placed in the Saratoga Spa State Park to coincide with the 2015 Saratoga-Capital Region Geocache Summer Challenge Wrap Up Party! The Wrap-Up Party is held, and these new caches are hidden, as a thank you to all of the geocachers and volunteers who participated in the 2015 Summer Passport challenge – you’ve made our fourth year of this series our most successful one yet! Over 705 individual geocachers participated in this summer’s program and visited our wonderful Sara-Cap parks and historic sites!

Eight of the new caches were placed in the main section of the Spa Park, but we placed 3 new hides in this relatively remote but scenic section of the Saratoga Spa State Park – Gray’s Crossing off of Northline Road (just about 2 miles southeast of the main park) - to introduce you to this nice trail if you've not visited here before. Gray’s Crossing follows the Kayaderosseras Creek to its south and promises some great views of the creek along the trail. Although this cache is placed in a winter-friendly location, the parking area to this section of the park does not get plowed in the winter, so you may want to plan your visit accordingly - although these flat trails would be great to for a quick snowshoe or cross-country ski trip. When the creek is high enough, there is a kayak/canoe launch, and also some nice picnic tables for your lunch !

While there is evidence of lots of beaver activity nearby, hopefully they won't venture to this area !

Enjoy the hunt, and thank you for participating in the 2015 Sara-Cap NYS Parks Geocaching Programs! – Here’s to making 2016 even bigger and better!
