A bushwhacking hike to a beautiful hidden pond.
This cache is best accessed via canoe, kayak, or other form of boat via the Pawcatuck River. There is a public boat ramp off route 91 in Westerly (Bradford) across from BDA (the Bradford Dye Association). From the ramp, it's approximately a 2 mile boat trip upstream. Use your GPS to pick a spot parallel to the cache and walk in pretty much due west. You most likely will encounter standing swampy water of varying depths up to 6". You can go around the wet areas by backtracking and looping them if you're so inclined but it's more fun and adventurous to trudge right through. Enjoy the views...!
