Greenway running along Five Mile Creek south of Cardiff Street in the Town of Brookside. The greenway system passes by several historic sites including one of the town’s first cemeteries and the former site of the town school. They connect Greenway Park, John Bensko Park, and the Brookside Campground and the Five Mile Creek Canoe Company.
This cache is part of the Red Rock Trail (RRT) Series, a series of caches in Jefferson County highlighting the lesser known greenways and trails that help make up the Red Rock Trail System. This system idea was developed by the Freshwater Land Trust with a master plan of 750 miles of interconnected trails within Jefferson County. Right now, the RRT System has a little over 100 miles and is growing each year.
Permission to place this cache on the Brookside Greenway was granted by the Freshwater Land Trust ( http://freshwaterlandtrust.org). For a comprehensive map of the Red Rock Trail System consult: http://freshwaterlandtrust.org/find-a-trail
