Pawpaw patch 2 Traditional Geocache

Ldte95: The cache was not on the park property where I have permission to place caches. I don't feel comfortable trying to approach a few different property owners trying to determine land ownership and to gain permission.

Geocache Description:


Sunrise to sunset only!

Enjoy a pleasant hike through the park. This one is about a 1/2 mile from the Rt 117 parking area.

There is a large Poplar tree with a double blaze mark for the Horseshoe Trail directly across from a break in the vegitation that gives easier access to the hide location.

As I ventured around looking for a spot to hide a container, I was amazed at the number of pawpaws that were lying around on the ground the last week of September. Many of the other trees that I saw in the park had no fruit.

Here is a link to a 2023 updated map of the park. Due to the forestry project, and some slight trail rerouting, the map that shows on the geocaching app has some outdated information. This section of the park had no changes to the map.  Trail Map
