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.
On this site in the 1890’s sat the summer home of John McAdams and his family. McAdams owned the 700 acres that is currently the day use area and the campground. The house was a large mansion that sat above the lake with a beautiful ornate boathouse that sat on the edge of the lake.
Be sure to cover up the cache.
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
