The MML Geotrail and geocoin promotion has ended.
However, please look for another MML geocaching project in the
future.
The
Marshyhope Creek has always played a pivotal role in the lives of
residents of the Town of Federalsburg. The creek divides the town
in half and flows to the Nanticoke River System. Transportation of
goods and services to and from the markets across the creek has
made a Federalsburg the crossroads of mercantile on the Delmarva
Peninsula.
The
Mayor and Council of the Town of Federalsburg have acknowledged the
special bond the town shares with the creek by proactively
protecting the shorelines against erosion by adopting natural
approaches, namely "living shorelines.” Twelve living
shoreline projects have been installed, protecting more than a mile
of eroding shoreline and creating nearly 110,000 square feet of
wetlands. Work is in progress to create future living shoreline
projects that help reduce erosion, while creating natural habitats
along the creek.
The
Greenways Trails improvements along the Marshyhope Creek
demonstrate the natural benefits of the living shorelines by
providing walking trails with bridges over the newly created
marshes. This enables people to understand the dynamics between
nature and humans, while enjoying the waterfront area of the
Marshyhope Creek as it was hundreds of years
ago.
The
cache location is about 300 feet off the paved Greenways trail and
on public town property. The trail goes behind private property.
DO NOT CROSS PRIVATE PROPERTY to get to the cache.
Public access is available.
