DAR State Forest UA Series

DAR State Forest, Goshen

DAR State Forest is located on Route 112, a mile north from Route 9.

The letterbox trail is a quarter mile one way, a half mile total including return. Wheelchair users may need a buddy to help retrieve some or all of these boxes. Bring your own stamp pad and pen.

 Kayakers - MISSING as of June 23, 2009!
To find the kayakers, go to the boat launch closest to the park entrance. You can drive here by car or walk over the dam from the swimming beach. Take a walk into the woods on the wheelchair accessible trail. When you see the sign that says "No Horses Allowed", take about 25 steps and look left for a hollow log. Check out the ends of the log. If you cross over a rocky stream bed, you've gone too far.


Fire Fighter SEEMS TO BE MISSING OCTOBER 2010
Continue along the accessible trail to the gazebo. Enjoy the lake view and check out the back underside of the gazebo when you are ready to meet a well-known fire fighter.

Accessible Fishing - MISSING as of June 23, 2009!
Follow the trail along the water, passing a wooden bench. Keep going until you reach another split in the trail where a trail of wooden slats bears left to an accessible fishing dock. At the trail junction is an upright rock with sculptural contours. Look at the base of this rock. Re-hide well. (You are also in the vicinity of another letterbox called “Lost Kitten” here.)

Fire Tower
Follow the accessible trail all the way to the end. You’ll find yourself at the entrance road to the campground. Left is the campground, right is the main entrance with gate. Take a right turn and travel past the gate. Notice a wooden sign on your left at the junction of the main road and the campground entrance. Among other things it says “Fire Tower”. Stand in front of the sign and look in the direction of the arrow to the fire tower. See a hemlock tree behind the sign and just past that, a rock on the ground. Explore the base of the rock and re-cover everything to look like the forest floor is undisturbed when you are done. This letterbox has the logbook for the series.
