Weather:
Please check local weather forecasts before heading out onto the trails. Be prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear for potentially muddy conditions. Here are a few potentially dangerous conditions to be aware of and how to stay safe:

• If you observe lightning – Start to make your way towards shelter, if you count less than 15 seconds from hearing thunder to seeing lightning, seek shelter immediately
• If wind gusts over 35-40 mph (or when you can hear the wind whistle, see whole trees sway, and it is difficult to walk into the wind) – stay away from trees, look and listen for branches about to fall
  In any weather, be aware of dead trees with branches that can fall
• If the ‘feels like’ temperature is over 98 degree F – stay in the shade, slow down, and drink lots of water
• In case of emergency, please call 911 immediately. If you need assistance on a trial, but it is not an emergency, call the front desk between 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. at 609-737-3735.

The Watershed Reserve has several permanent geocaches hidden throughout our 950-acre property. It’s a great place to spend the day with a GPS, friends, and miles of trails through a variety of habitats. How do you know where to look? Enter these GPS coordinates into your device and start hunting! Just be sure to leave the treasure for the next geocacher.
