Geocache Description:

The Lake Trail is one of the 8 "locations" — or, this case, an entire trail — around Shaver's Creek that make up a 100-year Long-term Ecological Reflections Project. It connects Shaver's Creek Environmental Center, Stone Valley Recreation Area, and the Civil Engineering Lodge.


The Trail is one of the 8 designated "sites" around Shaver's Creek that make up a 100-year Long-term Ecological Reflections Project. It is actually an entire trail, not a single spot, but the cache is near an exhibit sign that represents the project.

The Shaver’s Creek Long-term Ecological Reflections Project, also called the Creek Journals, seeks to record natural and cultural history happenings at eight locations in and around Shaver's Creek Environmental Center over the course of a full century. We’re placing one cache at each spot to lead more people to them and build our 100 year record!

A trail map available at ShaversCreek.org/Trails. You can either drive up very close to the cache and temporarily park, or take the Lake Trail from Shaver's Creek, the CE Lodge, or Stone Valley Recreation Area!

The cache is a waterproof plastic container which is large enough to contain a logbook and room for other items.  Please take your time and leave an inspired entry in the book!  Feel free to make a sketch of the site, pen a poem, or write as much as you like. If you take any photographs, please share them with us by posting to Instagram using #shaverscreek, uploading them at ShaversCreek.org/PhotoShare or the Shaver's Creek Facebook Page!

We've invited resident reflectors since 2006 to spend some time at the Creek—authors, artists, poets, musicians—and see how each LTERP spot inspired them. You can read all of their writings atShaversCreek.org/CreekJournals

... now it's your turn. Please help enrich our project by leaving something special in our logbooks!
