Geocache Description:


GEOJAMBOREE XIV
Kettletown State Park
June 10th - 12th
Main Event Saturday 6/11
11:00 - 2:00
There is a parking fee of $9 for CT Residents and $15 for out-of-staters.
*****Campers do not pay a parking fee*****

The Connecticut DEEP partners with the Connecticut Library Consortium to provide State Parks and Forests Day Passes at the main library branch for each Connecticut town. The pass can be used to waive entrance fees at state parks and forests where there is an established parking fee. The pass is not for commercial use and is valid for one private vehicle carrying fewer than 12 passengers. Visit your local library today to sign out the pass and enjoy Connecticut’s many natural wonders!


Park entrance is at 1400 Georges Hill Road, Southbury.
There will be a potluck lunch.
Be sure to bring chairs or a blanket since seating may be limited.
Bring your canoes or kayaks and take full advantage of what this state park has to offer.

When logging your "Will Attend" please note which site you've booked (if you are camping). We will inquire about food items for the potluck lunch as the event date grows nearer.
Spread the word and help us make this the best GeoJamboree yet!
