Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden underwater out in the lake. It is hidden so that it shouldn't be of any hindrance to any boating craft. But you will need to get wet to find this cache. Feel free to walk out from shore or jump out of a boat to grab this cache. But please do your best to hide the cache in the same spot so it can be found, reference the hint in replacing the cache please so that can stay true.


I always enjoy coming out to Lakeside park and enjoy spending time out on a boat on Lake Winnebago so I had to hide a cache out there. The cache location is straight out from shore from one of my favorite spots to hang in my hammock either by myself or with my girlfriend. Since spots where taken on land I took to water to hide a cache. I was personally able to walk out to the cache location and the water was reaching my upper chest, but I am over 6ft tall. I was able to relocate the cache with the coords using my phone.

Lake Winnebago

Lake Winnebago is the largest inland lake in WI with 88 miles of shoreline and covers an area of 137,700-acre. But the most fascinating fact I find with this large body of water in terms of surface area is that its max depth is only 21ft with an average depth of 15ft. Hence making it easy to walk out as far as I did.

Congrats to JT Cache Finder on the FTF!!!
