DRT: The Waltons Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

MSTzilla: As a bit of a tribute for all the great comments I've been getting on my caches lately, I've decided to rework the couple of caches that went missing with all new ones. They will be listed very soon.

Geocache Description:


This cache is located on the first section of the Dutchess Rail Trail to be open to the public. This trail, when completed, will consist of almost 12 miles of linear park from Hopewell Junction to Poughkeepsie. The trail will use the abandoned Maybrook Line railway and will eventually connect with the Poughkeepsie Train Bridge Walkway when that project is completed. Maps for the proposed final trail can be found here (www.dutchesscountytrails.com). There is still work to be done in the spring, but there is a paved and gravel path great for hiking and biking. When the entire project is complete, it will be an absolute treasure in the county. Best parking for this cache is located off route 376.

This cache is located with a nice view of Lake Walton. It is within a few feet of the trail, but you should watch your step while retrieving it. It is kid and winter friendly, so feel free to bring the whole family out for this easy walk. The trail is paved and would be a 1 terrain, but bumped to a 1.5 only because the placement of the caches are not wheelchair accessible. This is a great place for dog walking too, just keep them on a leash. You’re looking for a decon container. This doesn’t leave too much room, so please keep trades to signature items, geocoins, and small TBs. No need to leave any swag here.
