This should be a cache and dash if your GPS cooperates. Satellite reception and tree cover may cause a more difficult search. There is a parking pull-off which is not plowed during snow season so I don't recommend trying this cache during the winter months. Although it is a short walk to the cache site, I would also recommend wearing blaze orange during hunting season just to be on the safe side. BYOP
The Grant Powell State Forest is 8077 acres named after the first state district forester appointed to the Lewis-Jefferson county area. He was instrumental in most of the original local state land acquisition projects that formed the basis for the state forests that exist here today. A memorial plaque and small parking area along the south side of State Rt. 177 was established by his friends and co-workers.
This forest is located on the Tug Hill Plateau which is known for it's severe winter weather and record snow falls. Hunting hare and white-tailed deer, trout fishing, snowmobiling, and cross country skiing are major outdoor recreational activities enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
