Geocache Description:

The coordinates above will take you to Long Pond in Rutland State Park. You will need a canoe or kayak as part of this multicache is hidden on an island.


Plan on coming early in the morning if possible to catch sight of the heron and enjoy some peace and quiet. Come later and you may find water skiers here. You will paddle close to 2 miles for this cache on the waters of Long Pond. The mom in me reminds you to bring your PDF, sunscreen and water with you.

This is a 3 part cache. Follow the instructions below to find each one. Be sure to take this printout with you.
