E. Passaic River Blueway - Pirate's Cove
Welcome to the Passaic River Blueway. This is rated 5 Terrain as it is a paddle cache. There are 3 notable portage points on the Passaic River - Little Falls, Great Falls in Paterson, and Dundee Dam at Garfield/Clifton.
If you encounter any other hazards, use discretion and do not attempt if you feel unsafe. Designated ramps are listed. Remember your PFDs (life jackets) and consider affixing a waterproof bag for your gear.
-- This cache was placed about 4 feet high in a tree. It requires getting out of the boat.
Optional: It would be fun to see some of your photos!
