Franklin Township, Somerset County
www.franklintwpnj.org
In partnership with Franklin Township, NNJC is launched a new geotrail at the Griggstown Native Grassland Preserve on 10/27/13. After completing the geotrail, all geocachers will receive the token seen at left. The trail system in the Griggstown area covers 376 acres, but these trails connect to other trails that transverse the entire length of the 685-acre Ten Mile Run Greenway. The site contains both 102 acres of open fields and 583 acres of woodland. Historically, the fields were row crops but more recently the property was used as a horse farm. A map and rules and regulations of the 5.4-mile trail system may be downloaded as a PDF file by clicking here.
