One more smiley on the western side of the trail before continuing around the dam. You might be tempted in winter to go directly across the ice, but remember: the dam is nearby, so the ice will be thinner here. It is very worth having a stretch without geocaches so you that you can focus on the beauty of the area. Your next stop (assuming you're going counter-clockwise) isn't until a major intersection on the eastern side.
New York State Parks would like to extend a winter welcome to the Saratoga-Capital District geocaching community! We truly hope you enjoy it! This year, caches have been hidden at Peebles Island, Schodack Island, Thacher, Saratoga, Crown Point, Grafton, and Moreau. Each cache has been placed in a winter-friendly, meant-to-be-found manner, so have some seasonal fun and get on the trails at these beautiful New York State Parks! Don’t forget to bring a pen to sign the logs!
The Parks have variable hours of operation in the winter based on the time of sunset and staff availability, so call ahead if you’re not familiar with each Park’s schedule. You can find phone numbers for each park, along with maps and other information at www.nysparks.com.
We love feedback and we review every log, so please let us know how you liked this series when you post your finds. We appreciate your support of the Sara-Cap NYS Parks geocaching programs and would like to thank you for visiting our parks!
