About this area: Bezaleel Rudd, who served as an officer in the Continental Army, first settled the Rudd Pond area with his family in the early 1800s. The land remained sparsely inhabited and in 1924 was purchased by the Taconic State Park Commission, which built a bathing house, road, and campsites. In the 1930s, the area's road, trails, and parking lot underwent renovation and expansion by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
If you continue about 50 feet farther along the trail, you will come to an overlook to Rudd Pond.
About this cache: You are searching for a LnL container on the east side of the trail.
