There are a growing number of caches to complete while in this
area and trail system, and will add to your enjoyment of the time
invested in this cache. In the winter, the trails are prime for
cross country skiing and snowshoeing. In the summer, the trails are
great for biking and hiking. Bring bug spray!
There are trails that will take you very close to the cache,
with only a small amount of bushwacking at the end.
The trails are also dog-friendly, but in the winter there are
cross country skiiers, and some snow mobiles.
Have fun!
Cheers,
