Geocache Description:





Salt Springs State Park is in Franklin Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. The park is home to massive hemlock trees that are over 500 years old and are among the largest trees in all of Pennsylvania. The Fall Brook Natural Area within the park is recognized as a part of the Old-Growth Forest Network. The park also features a gorge with three waterfalls on Fall Brook. Salt Springs State Park is 7 miles (11 km) north of Montrose , just off PA Route 29. The park is the only state park in Pennsylvania that is managed by a non-profit organization, the Friends of Salt Springs Park. The state owns 405 acres of land and the Friends own an additional 437 acres bringing the total amount of protected land to 842 acres.

I placed a regular size cache along the Hemlock Trail. There is some starter swag. There is a pen and a log as well, but I always bring my own pen when caching. The ones left in the caches don't seem to work after awhile. It's a steep climb up this trail to the cache. If you have never been here before it's a very beautiful park. The waterfalls are very scenic. Since the last time I was here a few years ago they have built a wonderful new wooden bridge over the brook. Hope you have a great day!
