Geocache Description:

This county park has mixed woodlands as well as ball fields, model-airplane flying and mountain biking. The off-trail hills have impressive views north towards the tall ridges of the Harbor Hill Moraine in Cold Spring Harbor.


I didn’t hike up the bike trail here N40 50.414 W73 27.754, but it seemed like a great hill to get a good view of the surrounding area. If anyone does it, post a picture if you get a chance. It's pretty close to the cache.

You can park here N40 49.891 W73 28.569 at the ball fields and have a long hike through the entire woods following the white-blazed Nassau-Suffolk Greenway Trail into the yellow-blazed Stillwell Woods Loop trail. Or if you’re in a hurry, you can park at N40 50.408 W73 27.605 and start on the white-blazed Nassau-Suffolk Greenway Trail across the road where there’s room for one car although I’m not sure if it’s a legal parking spot. You then connect to the yellow Loop trail here N40 50.379 W73 27.674

If you stay on the trails, you will only have to bushwack about 30 feet. The cache is a small Rubbermaid.
