GCJXY7 Oakland Overlook II: Higher Ground (Traditional Cache) in New Jersey, United States created by BrianSnat

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: From the Northern Region Office, New Jersey State Parks Department:

Over a year ago New Jersey enacted a policy that all geocachers must obtain a permit to have their cache on State Park property. We have informed all geocaching host that this is their responsibility and have given them ample time to go about getting their permits. At this time, over a year later, there are still several caches that haven’t complied.

We ask that as the land managers for the attached properties we would like to have these illegal caches removed.

Based on the list provided by the state, I am forced to archive this listing. If you have a permit, get a permit or don't believe your cache is on state park/forest land, please contact me via email. Make sure you include the GC code.

If you don't plan to get a permit, please remove your geocache so it doesn't become geo-trash.

Geocache Description:

Pleasant walk and a short climb to a very nice overlook - if you can find the easy route. Those who fly by the arrow, die by the arrow.

While walking along the Lookout Trail (which oddly enough has be re-routed to bypass most of the good lookouts), I notice a heavily overgrown spur trail and decided to follow it. At the end I discovered this excellent view.

Judging from the few, faded beer cans strewn about, it's been a while since this was a popular spot.

The recommended route is to take the red blazed Lookout Trail from near the Ramapo Lake dam. Come in another way and be prepared for a lot more than 2.5 star terrain.
