Geocache Description:


Block House Pond

This cache was originally placed by Delaware Geocaching for the 9th annual First State Challenge! Although the challenge is over, the cache can still be found.



Description:
In Delaware there are a variety of lakes, waterways, ponds, and water access. Delaware Bay, Delaware River, and the Atlantic Ocean are three of the most popular areas visitors and residents tend to go to play. A local spot in Lewes is Block House Pond. The pond is surrounded by cultural and historical features and it is considered in a category of physical recreation since recreation is popular at the lake.

Block House Pond has its own beach, which is available from sunrise to dusk Memorial Day through Labor Day. Parking is on site. No sleeping, fires, or alcohol are permitted at the pond. Fishing is possible for those with a permit. The pond is too small for motor boats or other on water vessels. It is surrounded by some park land, so picnics are permitted.

Block House Pond can be enjoyed by bird watchers and nature lovers. There is at least one path near the pond that visitors can use. The pond is found at Park Avenue and Johnson Avenue. Weather for the pond is often in the 70s to 80s degree F in summer. In winter temperatures can drop to 20 degrees F during the evenings, freezing the freshwater pond.



Cache:
The cache is a small LocknLock. To find this cache, IT WOULD BE BEST USE THE PARKING ENTRANCE COORDS GIVEN OFF OF SAVANNAH ROAD.
