Hidden atop the hill behind the Livingston Manor Presbyterian Church and the Orchard Street Cemetery is a beautiful, short hike leading to a stunning, historic view of the town. A short, 0.15 mile hike from the trailhead will bring you to this little known overlook from which you can see Livingston Manor's Main Street, our historic school, and the Willowemoc Creek. We have lived in this town our whole lives and only discovered this trail about a year ago. When we started geocaching, we knew this would be a lovely place to hide one. My daughters filled the cache with trinkets to trade, and we encourage everyone to share a picture from the overlook! The cache is hidden back against the hill, NOT out on the ledge. Please be careful, especially with children or pets, when at the overlook area.
Parking can be found at the Presbyterian Church just below the cemetery, or you may park at the municipal parking lot along Main Street (by the light) and walk to the trail from there.
Walking directions from the Municipal Parking lot – located at the hamlet’s only stoplight (at intersection of Main St. and Pearl St.) are:
Follow Pearl Street eastward to the blinking light at Rock Avenue.
Turn left onto Rock Avenue. Take the first right onto Orchard Street.
Follow Orchard Street to the back of the Presbyterian Church. Turn left onto a narrow access road to the cemetery. At the fork in the road bear to the right. Follow the access road across the middle of the cemetery, then left uphill to the Round Top Trails trailhead sign on right.
Please be respectful of the nearby cemetery. No night caching. May not be accessible during the winter.
