Moderate climb, less than one hour.

Directions: heading into Woodbury on Rt.6, from the junction of Rt. 64 & 6 drive 0.6 miles and turn right onto Orenaug Rd. If you miss it, the very next right is Orenaug Ave. and they both go to the same place. At the stop sign you will see the Orenaug Park sign straight ahead of you, this is where you will be starting your hunt. Turn left and park along the edge of the road by the pond, room for 4 or 5 cars.

Clues: walk up the woods road at the park entrance and notice almost at once a kiosk to your right with a map of the trails in the park. You will be following the red blazes to the tower. You will notice as you hike on the trail there are blazed silver metal strips over white paint all the way to the tower too. There will be an unmarked path to the left leading to an overlook; as marked on the map, where some rock climbing is done. Soon you encounter a major fork in the trail where the orange trail goes left, down a hill and into the center of town, but you need to stay on the red trail to your right and watch ahead of you for a glimpse of the tower.

This is the second tallest fire tower I've ever seen and not for the faint of heart to climb. You will enjoy an incredible view at the top of the tower and once you come back down, head north on the Green blazed trail to the right of the tower, going down a hill and turn right at the double blaze. Climb the hill ahead of you and when you reach the top to a green blazed tree on your left and a rock on your right, you will proceed 15 steps to the next blaze on your right. Now turn right off the trail taking 10 steps to where you can find a rock and claim your treasure.

Stamp in carefully and if you'd like more hiking, the blue trail is a loop bringing you back to this point, or go back and take the orange into town, shop and walk back to your car along Main Street. Have Fun
