This cache was placed to lead you to the new Eagle Trail. It continues the tow path all the way east to South Amsterdam, formerly Port Jackson on the Erie Canal. It’s a nice walk. With a picnic spot halfway, you can see modern canal structures such as the moveable dam and Lock E11.
This cache is part of the 2022 New York State Saratoga/Capital District Regional Geocache Challenge! The stamp inside this cache is part of the game, and it is not a trade item – please do not take the stamp. 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 2022 Peebles 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 parks.ny.gov.
