Welcome to Moreau State Park, which is celebrating it’s 50th anniversary this year! With our challenge caches, we have highlighted some of the more historical parts of the park so be sure to read the write ups below.
In the 1940’s the land was purchased again and the area became a vacation spot for local families. There were 13 cabins that surrounded the lake that people could rent. Interesting fact is that they were all built out of different wood harvested here on the property and that’s how they were referred to. This building is the last of the 13 cabins and it was originally the Poplar Cabin but is now referred to as the Comstock Cabin after the family that used to rent it every summer.
This cache has been placed as part of the New York State Saratoga/Capital District Regional Geocache Challenge. There are 72 geocaches hidden within 18 state parks and historic sites in this park region, and geocachers finding 45 or more will be eligible to receive a 2018 Schodack Island State Park commemorative and trackable geocoin. If you are interested in taking the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites or download it at www.nysparks.com
