This cache is a three-stage multi that will take you to a different locations along a stream that runs from the swap adjacent to the Roaring Brook (RB) trail into Stillwater Pond. The first two stages are along or near the PAsture Loop (PL) trail and the cache can be done without backtracking if you walk the PL loop clockwise.
You can access the RB and PL trails from the campground or from the yellow-marked Pelto Pond trail. The parking coordinates are for the Pelton Pond parking lot. The trailhead coordinates are for the start of the RB trail in the campground. You may find a Fahnestock trail map at https://parks.ny.gov/parks/attachments/ClarenceFahnestockTrailMap.pdf
