I never new this game preserve was there until this cache hunt drew me there. Great place to hike around and check out the beautiful scenery along Ridley Creek. This is near the location of the historic Minquas Path crossing. A place where the Miquas Indians forded the creek. The "Minquas was here" cache is located on the hill across the creek. The trail head to get to Saul Preserve End is near the The Old Mill. A faster approach is from the north, but most likely private property. You cross over the remnants of the old dam.

One of the many awesome views of Ridley Creek along the trail

The cache location is at the site of where the old carriage road used to cross Ridley Creek. Only the stone buttresses and causeway remain. A great old relic to find in the woods.
