BACKGROUND:
Discover the natural beauty of the Adirondacks in upstate New York. Up Yonda Farm offers 73 acres with a spectacular view overlooking Lake George. Public nature programs on a variety of topics are presented year round. Natural history exhibits featuring a diorama with native mammals and birds are housed in the museum. Watch for wildlife outdoors as you hike along one of our woodland trails. There are perennial gardens, including a butterfly garden from June to August. Special programs for schools and groups are available by reservation.
Up Yonda Farm was donated to Warren County by long time Bolton Landing residents Alice and John Scott. Over the years, the Scotts took pride in caring for the grounds of Up Yonda. Their intent was to create an environment where visitors could learn while enjoying nature. Today, Up Yonda Farm is operated by the Warren County Parks and Recreation.

THESE BOXES DO NOT CONTAIN INK PADS OR PENS.
THE FIRST TWO BOXES ARE MICRO BOXES, AND THE FINAL BOX (VISTA) CONTAINS THE NOTEBOOK.
SUGAR HOUSE:
Walk Northeast to the White House, and start on the Base Loop Trail that goes to the left side of the house. Continue down the Base Loop Trail until you get to the Sugar House on the left. (This is where there are Maple Syrup demonstrations in the spring (usually March); kids can tap trees, and see the sap be boiled into syrup, as well as tasting the delicious fresh syrup). At the Sugar House, take a left onto the Sugar Trail and continue for 25 paces (2 steps= 1 pace). On the left, there is a large evergreen with a large boulder next to it. What you're looking for is behind the boulder.
Return to the Base Loop Trail.
FEDERAL HILL CEMETERY:
Continue on the Base Loop trail, following the orange diamond trail markers, and cross a wooden bridge that takes a righty twist. Take a right at the sign towards the Green Trail. Continue twisty turny past the bench (sit awhile if you have the inkling). and then pass a triple tree trunk on the right.
Again, take a right at the signs to continue on the Green Trail.
At the next set of signs, take a right to the Summit Trail Extension, and continue to the Summit, taking the signs to the Cemetery Spur Trail. This will lead you to the back entrance to the Federal Hill Cemetery. Go due North across the cemetery to "Sally Barber's" headstone. Then, go due East to Mrs. Lucy Murch. From Lucy, go Northeast to Abigail and Moses Winter, and while looking at Abigail and Moses, see the triple tree directly ahead of you. about 5 paces. Your goal is in the limbs of the triple tree trunk.
VISTA:
Return the way you came into the cemetery and take a right at the Summit Trail Extension, and continue down the summit trail to the Lake George Vista. Enjoy the view. While at the vista and the photo of the vista, go 25 paces at 220 degrees. There will be 7 trees together (4 large, 1 medium, 2 small). Southeast of these trees, about 10' away there will be a fallen, mossy log. The final treasure is hidden under the log.
You can return to the parking lot via any of the trails, or down the Field Traverse in front of you.
When you're at the bottom, don't forget to look into the museum. You can also watch the birds in the bird viewing area next to the museum, look for toads in the pond, or have a picnic under the pavillion (remember to carry out any trash you might have taken in).
