This cache is near the historic Congers Lake Dam and near the historic Paul Farmhouse. This is a nano cache, so bring your own fine writing implement.
This dam, constructed in 1995, replaced an original weakened stone and earthen dam built more than a century ago to create a recreational area for the St. Rita Parish of New York City.
The Dutch called this stream, an easterly branch of the Hackensack River, the Kill von Beaste (Devil's Brook).
First called the New Lake, the impounded waters became Lake St. Rita and finally in 1920's, Congers Lake. For many years this spot was known as Jones Landing.
See the photo gallery for information on the Paul Farmhouse c. 1810 that is across the street.
This cache is completely handicapped accessible.
