Old Croton Aqueduct trail and caching?

[+HaLiJuSaPa]

Here in Westchester we have lots of trails to put caches on. I've always been intriuged about this trail that goes through much of the western part of the county: http://www.aqueduct.org/content/history-aqueduct-trail

 

Yet unlike almost every other trail here, I have never seen a cache placed on it. It came to my mind when this cache just outside of the entrance to the trail appeared: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC2E78V. The CO, a relatively new cacher, seems to word it carefully to show that it's not on the trail itself, but has easy access to it.

 

I have thought about placing one or more caches on this trail but was puzzled at the lack of past caches and took pause. Is there something about this trail that doesn't allow caches? Please let me know, thanks!

The Old Croton Aqueduct State Historic Park is a state park, so state park rules apply: you need a permit to hide a cache. The park headquarters is in Dobbs Ferry 693-5259)

 

Actually, there does appear to be one cache along the aqueduct. In Croton, not far from where the aqueduct begins in Croton Gorge Park (county park) look for Team Bacmac's Aquecache. (GCT6JB) I have not found it yet, but it appears to be on or near the aqueduct trail.

You're right about Aquecache, my lower Westchester bias is showing.....

 

Thanks for the info, that makes sense.

I can confirm the Aqueduct trail is a state park and if you place a cache along the trail Admin will require a permit from the HQ in Dobbs Ferry.

 

It's a great trail though! Someone shoulf put some out there!
