Campgaw is the Ramapo Indian word for "Goose." The town that Campgaw Mountain
Reservation is located in is Mahwah. Mahwah means, "open fields" in the
Ramapo Indian language.
There are two things to keep in mind before setting out for this letterbox.
Don't go looking after a heavy rain.
Don't go during ski season.
Start at the Hemlock trail (Orange).
At the intersection of paths, take and stay on the Indian trail (Yellow)
Take left up the log stairs staying on the yellow trail (very rocky here)
Trail merges with XC trail.
Cross pipe when yellow trail indicates you to do so.
Enjoy the view.
You'll see a pole marking the end of the yellow & blue trails.
Take small path on left of pole heading west.
On the right of the path a short ways down you'll see a tree with a sign on
it that says "End of Trail". If you start going down the red trail, you've
gone too far.
