Geocache Description:


This is the third of three micro-caches placed in public areas surrounding the Cannonsville Reservoir. It is at the Cannonsville Armed Forces Memorial.  Bring a pen. 

The Cannonsville Reservoir is in Delaware County, New York.  It was formed by impounding over half of the west branch of the Delaware River. It is the westernmost, newest, and largest of New York City's reservoirs. It was placed in service in 1964, and several towns were destroyed to make room for it.  It is 455 square miles and contains 95.7 billion gallons of water at full capacity.  Its water flows through a series of reservoirs and aqueducts, providing New York City with about 25% of its drinking water.

We encourage you to search for the Cannonsville Reservoir caches by bicycle - some of the best cycling in the northeast surrounds this reservoir.   Start your 34 mile geo-bicycling adventure -  a large counter-clockwise loop - at the Trout Creek fishing access at N42 05.405 W75 18.602.  From there, head northeast for 17 miles on route 10 along the edge of the reservoir to Walton, picking up two caches along the way.  Grab some lunch in Walton, and rest up for a 5-mile climb up (and we do mean up) route 206 toward Loomis.   At mile 23.6, turn left onto Route 47 and swoop down gentle hills for 7 miles, then turn left onto Trout Creek Road.  Cross over a branch of the reservoir on a very scenic bridge,  then pick up the last cache at the Cannonsville Armed Forces Memorial just before you finish the loop.
