Geocache Description:

The Seneca Point Overlook is located a short distance from the parking lot (41 19.313N x 79 12.703W) at the end of Fire Tower Road in Cook Forest State Park. Please be sure to wear sturdy hiking boots. Large slippery rocks in the area can be a challenge.

The cache is in a green ammo can, and has lots of prizes for everyone including a first finders reward. The Seneca Point Overlook is named after the Seneca Indians who lived here long before the first settlers moved into the area in the early 1820's. Be sure to keep your eyes open for petroglyphs and mortars (Indian mills-small bowl shaped depressions on the top of the large rocks) which are scattered throughout the area. The most prominent feature from Seneca Point is the Clarion River. The Clarion River has a diverse history starting with the American Indians and French fur traders to the large log rafts and flat bottom boats of the lumber era. Today, the Clarion River is not only an exceptional recreation area, but has also been designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. Keep your eyes open for bald eagles and ospreys while you're here.
