NONE OF THE CACHES ARE HIDDEN IN FOUNDATIONS OR STONE WALLS
As you walk along this trail you'll pass much evidence of the settlement that was once here. Between this cache and Chippy, notice and explore the area of what once must have been quite a huge homestead. The walls for this family's land stretches for a long time. Scout out a medium sized Lock n Lock container.
We've kept the hides straightforward and have given good hints due to some bounce in these heavy woods. We want you to enjoy the scenery in this great park. In total there are nineteen trails within Schoolhouse Brook Park, including a portion of the Nipmuck Trail. It is mature woods with views of a colonial mill site and many house sites and historic stone walls. This area includes Bicentennial Pond Recreation Area where the kids can play and you can picnic. Bicentennial Pond is a good fishing spot.
Most of the trails are relatively flat terrain and all are named and well marked with white blazes. There are only a couple of them with modest grades. The trails do have roots and rocks, but you CAN use your mountain bikes. We met numerous cyclists along our hike. There are also trails designated for cross country skiing
