This path takes you past ancient prehistoric earthworks and, in the
spring, great wildflowers
Fort Ancient features 18,000 feet of earthen walls built 2,000
years ago by people of the Hopewell Culture who used the shoulder
blades of deer, split elk antler, clam shell hoes and digging
sticks to dig the dirt. YOu'll pass these ancient works, please be
respectful and not walk on the earthworks.
There is a site admission fee (If you want, you can pay
admission to just the park, not the museum). Daytime hours
only.

My wife and I tried this one last winter, in the snow. But that ravine didn't look inviting and I could tell from the get-go that the trail wasn't going to be too useful. I preempted the adventure and moved on. I came back today. Yup, I picked another great day for it. Indeed, the trail wasn't useful. But I could see what looked like another trail (i.e., I saw a bench) across a ravine from where I ended up. So, I walked back and ended up ghswhacking along the top of a ridge and got to negotiate the ravine from there. Yup, I did see a trail from "over there." I came out of the ravine where the bench was. I banged right into the cache. Congratulations! You've won the coveted button award. I didn't want to go back the way I came, so I took the trail. I had to walk quite far on it to convince myself that I went the wrong direction. Upon heading back in the right direction, I eventually came to a bridge at N39 24.368 W84 05.171 and found that I was on the Mound Trail. It's trail head is at N39 24.410 W84 05.225. (It's off of the road that goes past the parking lot.) I didn't realize until I got back to the car that I was supposed to find a "Small." Well, I didn't find a "Small." I found about the largest "Regular" there could possibly be. (Good deal!) Thanks for the fun in the snow.

The kids, Carol and I came out to find this one today. We discovered that our membership to Boonshoft museum gets us into this museum and area, so we made a tour of the museum (very cool and well worth the price of admission) and then came out for a walk around the trails here today. It was a perfect day for it. The cache is in great shape. tftcsl tn l-tb and gc

OK - my 9 yr old & I went OFF ROAD on this & he thought we were going to kill ourselves going up n down crosscountry LOL
We made it, then found the path back out to the closed-off road MUCH easier going!
