Take exit 6 off Route 9. Head west on Route 148 about a mile and a half. Just past the Cedar lake beach area take a right (there’ll be a sign for Pattaconk and Cedar lake boat access) go past a small cemetery and follow this road about a mile past Cedar lake and into the State Forest. Turn left at the “Pattaconk” entry and boat ramp sign. Go past the small beach area and park in the lot up the hill (on the right).
This is my first attempt at a single image, using three stamps. Read stamping instructions on the cover of log book #1......whose stamp is the lower left corner.
This is about a three mile round trip adventure.
From the parking lot go to the west end and up the stone steps, turning right onto the blue trail. Soon you come to an intersection of the blue with red dot trail, stay on blue going uphill. You’ll cross several streams, coming to one with a log bridge. This is followed by another good uphill, eventually coming to a spot where you must walk between two rock outcroppings. Before walking through, turn right and follow the base of the ledge until it ends and then follow another until that one ends and then follow the one just above it until that one ends where a medium size tree is holding up the whole shebang. Look under the overhang under a flat rock for box #1.
Continue on, still on the blue trail, going through a nice stone wall and down a long hill until you come to a wooden arched bridge with a red dot trail going to the right. Cross the bridge (another red dot trail on the right over here too) take a sharp left on blue and follow the stream for a ways, then going uphill as you leave the stream behind. Come to a really nice stone wall, go through (still uphill) lots of large rocks and outcroppings along here. When you get almost to the top with a leaning tree on the left, follow the base of the ledge to the left about 75 feet to a small tree growing out of it. Very low (ground level) under this tree, under an overhang, under rocks is box #2.
Continue on blue, coming once again to a red dot trail on the right. Stay on blue, crossing a bridgeless stream and going uphill. Lots of water here, cross a couple of streams (or the same one twice) and watch for a sign on a tree on the right (if the sign is missing, look for a faint path with yellow blazes). Go right onto yellow, leaving the blue trail for a few hundred feet, coming to a sign post with information on it. After reading about this spot, take a compass reading of 155 degrees and bushwhack to a large rock ledge. With the ledge on your left look for a two sister tree growing on top. Follow the right sister’s root to a rock cave for box #3.
Unless you have a car waiting for you at another location, retrace your steps to the parking lot.
