These winter friendly caches are all quite small, so please bring your own pen/pencil.
Head down the path of history. Schoharie Crossing has a rich natural history as well as the human engineering and social history. From the flora and fauna that exist today, to the geological evidence of how this region was shaped over millions of years, the trails provide a glimpse into the natural beauty of the Mohawk Valley and the river that gave it its name. Sometimes the simplest way to appreciate this is by taking a walk among the trees.
We would like to extend our faithful Geocachers a Winter Welcome to the Saratoga-Capital District New York State Parks! Back in its sixth year is the Winter 33 Series, and we truly hope you enjoy it! This year, 33 caches have been hidden at Schoharie Crossing (SC), Schodack Island State Park (SI), and Saratoga Spa State Park (SS). Each cache has been hidden in a winter-friendly, meant-to-be-found manner, so have some seasonal fun and get on the trails at these beautiful New York State Parks, and don’t forget to bring a pen to sign the logs!
The Parks have variable hours of operation in the winter based on the time of sunset and staff availability, so call ahead if you’re not familiar with each Park’s schedule. You can find phone numbers for each Park, along with maps and other information at www.nysparks.com.
We love feedback and we review every log, so please let us know how you liked this series when you post your finds. We appreciate your support of the Sara-Cap NYS Parks geocaching programs and a big Thank You to you for visiting our parks! Please visit www.nysparks.com for more information, and "like" and follow the individual parks on Facebook.
The Winter 33 will be available until the beginning of May.
