Schoharie Creek Preserve
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Time: About 15 minutes round-trip
This letterbox was planted is secrecy from the other half of Turtle Run so she could have her own treasure hunt on her birthday. I made sure she was the first finder, but I hope you enjoy it as much as she did. (Have you figured out the title yet?!?)
**This trail is child friendly up to the letterbox. However, if you choose to walk the rock formation, it is not child friendly.
Directions:
Take I-88 west. Get off exit 24 and turn left off the exit. At the stop sign, turn right onto Route 20. Go for 4.5 miles down Route 20 and then take a right onto McGuire School Rd. Follow this road for 2.4 miles. At the stop sign, go straight across and continue down Eaton Corners Rd. for an additional 1.7 miles. At the next stop sign, turn left onto an un-named road for a half mile. (It is across from Braman Corners Rd.) Cross a bridge and take your second right onto Burtonville Rd. Go about 0.8 miles and take a right onto Butler Rd. and go about a half a mile until you cross a small bridge. A wide pull-off on the north side of the bridge is a convenient place to park.
Clues:
Cross back over the bridge (following the guardrail) and follow the trail to your left up the hill (the trail is not clearly marked, but you should see the beaten path that others have walked). Travel up the hill for 30-32 paces until you see a large three trunked Oak tree on your left. Hidden between the trunks and under rocks, twigs, and brush you will find Bad Ha Hippy Try letterbox.
If you would like to see and walk the rock formation, continue up the hill until you see a cluster of smaller Oak trees. Follow the path to the left down the hill to get to the narrow rock walk way that overlooks the two creeks and allows you to get down to Schoharie Creek. Please be very careful and walk safely….there are no guardrails or any type of safety rail along this rock walk way and it’s a very long way down!
**Mill Creek flows on bedrock over a series of lovely waterfalls, the largest of which is at the bridge. As it flows into Schoharie Creek, Mill Creek creates a very unusual (and potentially dangerous) rock formation that can be reached via a trail that starts just south of the bridge. Following this trail down to Schoharie Creek is physically challenging and not for the faint of heart. Please use caution if you choose to attempt this trail. Trail maps are not yet available for this trail.***
