Devils Lake Revisited Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

kbraband: At the request of the DNR to archive all geocaches in State Natural Areas, it's time to say good-bye to this cache. Judging by the logs here and on my original Devil's Lake geocache, many people had many great adventures finding this cache. Thanks for writing about your experiences. I know I'll still be coming back to this location over the coming years. Maybe we'll see you out there on the trails.

Geocache Description:

Located in Devils Lake State Park. Parking fees apply. This is the replacement for the old Devils Lake cache, which has been archived. If you want to read tips from other geocachers about how to find this one, read the old cache postings. It's not easy to get to. Very much a challenging hike, but with spectacular views as your reward.



If you're up for a challenging hike and beautiful views for many miles around, you'll love this one. The cache is not in plain sight and may be more difficult to find than the previous Devils Lake cache

The real reward of this hunt is the hike itself. If you have not seen the view from these trails, you're in for a treat. Park at N43°24.635 W089°42.668, then follow the CCC trail up the East Bluff. At times the switchback trail will lead you in the opposite direction of the cache but then it turns back to head for the cache. This climb is not for small children or for the weak of heart. However it is not a technical climb. You will not need climbing gear to reach the cache -- just good hiking boots/shoes and drinking water. You will most likely see many rock climbers, as this is a very popular climbers location. Do NOT attempt this during rain, snow, or approaching darkness. It will take you longer than you think to reach the cache area. As with all geocaches, you take full responsibility for seeking this cache. Good luck.

11/8/02: Here's an alternate trail you may wish to try: take the Grotto Trail to the Potholes Trail and proceed uphill from there.

4/16/05: I updated the spoiler photo. We recommend you print it and stick in your pocket for this geocache. Pull it out only if you can't find the cache.

5/6/2006:Replaced the previous container with an ammo box.
