Welcome to my Lacey Lakes Hide Cache Series. I grew up just down the street on Lakeside Drive South and spent my childhood fishing, swimming, and hanging out at the lake and parks around it. I have a few caches hidden at all 3 lakes and plan to do more of them, so please check them out.
This cache features the Millpond or as most local the 1st Lake as I called it. I fished from the trestle everyday and still fish here to this day. This Rail Road Trestle was part of the Toms River Rail Road. The Toms River Railroad was established in 1866 with a stop at the county seat of Toms River, New Jersey. The line was extended to Waretown in 1872 by the Toms River and Waretown RR Co. In 1881 the Central Railroad of New Jersey purchased the road and in 1893 the property was transferred to the Toms River & Barnegat RR Co. at that time the branch was extended to Barnegat. In 1893, the Toms River & Barnegat RR Co. acquired ownership of the property, and service continued under the Central Railroad.
Passenger service was terminated in the mid 1950s, though freight service continued through the early 1970s before the line was taken out of service and eventually absorbed by Conrail.
The last phase of the Barnegat Branch Trail will be started shortly and will be a bike/walking path from here to Barnegat, NJ.
Small bison with camo tape. Also a great place to pick up some trash and put it in the garbage can on the way out.
